10 Best Miami SOBEWFF 2025 Events That Still Have Tickets

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) is back, baby, combining the city's best restaurants, celebrity chefs, white sand beaches, and seemingly every terrain in between. With four days of culinary heaven, beginning Thursday, February 20, through Sunday, February 23, the happenings are as fun and delicious as ever.

This year's lineup is stacked with celebrity chefs (and TikTok-famous ones, which you can check out at FoodieCon), next-level eats, and unforgettable events — whether that means witnessing a live culinary battle, catching Flo Rida throwing it down on Ocean Drive, or watching New Times contributor Jesse Scott defend a pickleball championship against the biggest culinary personalities.

Without further ado, consider this your ultimate cheat sheet, in chronological order, for experiencing every unmissable moment at SOBEWFF '25.

Tournament of Champions Live

Guy Fieri is turning up the heat with a totally live, unfiltered version of Tournament of Champions right in the middle of SOBEWFF.

Team leaders will be Mei Lin, Tiffani Faison, Maneet Chauhan, and Brooke Williamson. 7:30 p.m. Friday, February 21, at American Airlines North Venue, 1 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach; sobewff.org/champions.

Celebrity Chef Pickleball Tournament

Nothing says South Florida like watching celebrity chefs and culinary personalities battle it out with pickleball paddles instead of frying pans.
