The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by Capital One (SOBEWFF®) is a national, star-studded, four-day destination event showcasing the talents of the world’s most renowned wine and spirits producers, chefs and culinary personalities.

Each year, more than 1,500 students and volunteers from Florida International University gain invaluable real-world experience with the Festival – which serves as an interactive educational platform for the future leaders of the hospitality industry.

One of the most significant sources of funds raised during the Festival are from the auctions held throughout and leading up to Festival weekend. With your support, we hope to raise even more for the students of the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International University and continue our mission to EAT. DRINK. EDUCATE.

The Festival hosts two online auctions, as follows:

The Holiday Online Auction: November 22, 2023 – December 6, 2023

The Festival Online Auction: January 31, 2024 – March 6, 2024
