The Caribbean Food and Wine Festival is a three-day event that features both globally renowned chefs and rising stars of the culinary arts in order to provide a platform for the development of young chefs. During the festival, the chefs present their best dishes, host testings, reveal some secrets of their craft and give advice on the use of various ingredients.
The festival is held at the Grace Bay Resorts hotel which is its main hub. Some events take place at other venues kindly provided by partners and sponsors. Each day of the Caribbean Food and Wine Festival has a rich and diverse program. Note that each event requires a separate ticket of admission, but you can buy a package that includes several events.
What are the festival’s main attractions? Let’s start with the Gourmet Safari. It’s a culinary tour designed to introduce festival visitors to local cuisine. The event is accompanied by traditional Caribbean music and dance which makes it even more exciting.
The program also features the Women of Wine Luncheon where visitors can meet female chefs and sommeliers. Other events and activities available at the festival include gourmet dinners and luncheons, food and wine pairing seminars, and Dinner with the Stars.
Of course, a food and wine festival absolutely cannot do without a street food fair. The fair gives local cooks an excellent opportunity to showcase their skills and special recipes, while guests get a chance to taste delicious local food. One of the main tasks of the fair is to improve the overall guest experience for those traveling to the Turks and Caicos Islands, especially first-time visitors.
The Caribbean Food and Wine Festival in the Turks and Caicos Islands is one of the biggest events of its kind in the Caribbean. It attracts thousands of tourists every year, giving them a unique chance to learn more about local cuisine and culture through first-hand experience.
