Four blocks of Las Olas Boulevard will transform into an open-air tasting experience on April 24 as one of South Florida’s most anticipated culinary events marks its 30th anniversary. The milestone celebration brings together more than 40 restaurants and over 200 wines and spirits for an evening benefiting the American Lung Association.
Presented by Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival begins at 7:30 p.m., with VIP access starting at 5:30 p.m.
Guests can sample a wide selection of domestic and international wines and spirits alongside dishes from a range of Greater Fort Lauderdale restaurants. From longtime favorites to newer standouts, participating chefs will present signature bites designed for easy strolling and pairing as guests move along the boulevard.
Grand Cru VIP ticket holders receive access to a pre-party at the Riverside Hotel, early entry and a dedicated “Throwback to the 90s” experience with specialty cocktails, curated bites and a retro-inspired lounge complete with nostalgic music and design touches. The popular Elevated VIP Wine Garden also returns, offering exclusive pours from premium wine brands and limited-release bottles. VIP guests gain access from 7-9 p.m. before it opens to General Admission from 9-10:30 p.m.
Interactive elements continue throughout the evening, including a Jim Beam x Cadillac Formula 1–inspired pit stop and a new tech-driven golf experience.
Since its founding, the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival has served as a major fundraiser for the American Lung Association, with 100% of proceeds supporting lung health research, education and advocacy. Each year, the event benefits the nearly 3.3 million Floridians living with lung disease.
Three decades in, the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival remains a signature South Florida experience, blending great food and drinks and a meaningful cause into one unforgettable night.
