Third Installment of My Guide to the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival

In today's third, and final installment, I preview the can't miss events for the final two days of  the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. I have been to the fest four of the last five years, and it is by far the BEST wine & food in the country. If you have bought your tickets for this years fest, esp. after reading my first two installments, what are you waiting for my fellow foodie?

Check out my prior blogs to see how you can steer through the first two days of the fest and what parties/events are not to be missed. On Saturday, your first stop of the day has to be to Whole Foods Market Grand Tasting Village featuring MasterCard Grand Tasting Tents. Be prepared to spend all day on the beach sipping wine, eating gourmet bites from hundreds of restaurants and food companies, and watching some of your favorite Food Network celebrities cooking live a the demo tent. You will likely run in to your favorite food celebs, meet some fellow foodies, and probably drink a little too much! I am always there, so if you see me say hey.

Late night on Saturday, head to the Delano hotel for the Sammy's Beach Bar Rum and Cabo Wabo Tequila present Emeril Lagasse and Sammy Hagar's Rockin' Beach Party sponsored by Del Monte Fresh Produce. After eating and drinking all day, this is a great way to dance off some of those calories, fuel yourself with a little tequila, and party the night away. All of the late night parties are great events that are full of sexy people, unexpected celebs, and great food.

On Sunday, what better way to wind down the event than with a little brunch prepared by an Iron Chef at the Pure Leaf Farm to Table Brunch presented by Whole Foods Market hosted by Geoffrey Zakarian. I'm pretty sure you won't have many chances to have an Iron Chef cook you brunch in your life, so why not end your fest with some great food and a great story to tell all your friends.

There are so many events at this years Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival that I can't possibly cover all of them on my blog, so I encourage you to head over to http://www.sobefest.com/ and check out all the events for yourself. I've had so many unforgettable experiences at the fest, and I look forward to making more this year! Check out my interviews with some Food Network celebs from last year
