Events

The Grand Tasting presented by ShopRite has a new home, the historic Pier 57, with beautiful views of the Hudson River. The Grand Tasting will be one of the first events held in this unique newly opened event space.

Much like our sister festival, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, the 2011 New York Grand Tasting will now include an all day ticket which offers access to culinary demonstrations from top celebrity chefs. For one all-inclusive ticket price, guests will enjoy the ultimate culinary showcase for any foodie including all-day tastings provided by NYC’s top restaurants and chefs, accompanied by fine wine and spirits from the Southern Wine & Spirits of New York portfolio along with 12 daily cooking demonstrations from beloved Food Network talent, all under one roof.

The KitchenAid Culinary Demonstrations presented by Buitoni will feature two continuously running stages with celebrity chefs showcasing their talent live; a rare opportunity to see your favorite personalities out of the kitchen and up close as they demonstrate their techniques and personalities for an intimate live audience.
