THE BOCA RATON AND CAPITAL ONE PRESENT ARTISANS OF WINE & FOOD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NAPA VALLEY VINTNERS

Premiere Event Coming to South Florida’s Coast: January 17-19, 2025

BOCA RATON, Fla. (September 2, 2024) – South Florida’s iconic resort and private club, The Boca Raton, announces Artisans of Wine & Food—showcasing bold flavors and unforgettable moments — January 17-19, 2025.

The first-of-its-kind event in partnership with the esteemed Napa Valley Vintners will bring together more than 75 winemakers, 20+ celebrated and Michelin-starred chefs, and immersive programming for a celebration of fine wine and food that promises to become a coveted annual tradition.

The multi-day experience, presented by Capital One, will be orchestrated by some of the world’s most renowned culinary minds such as legendary Chef Todd English, famed Chef and Restaurateur Mario Carbone, and a dinner curated by an all-female line-up of top chefs matched with female-owned wineries/winemakers.

It all comes to a crescendo at a gala where guests will revel in a four-course dinner artistically directed by Fabio Trabocchi, Michelin-Starred Chef and Restaurateur of Washington DC's Fiola and Boca Raton's Fiolina Ristorante.

An auction hosted by international auctioneer Jacqueline Towers-Perkins will invite attendees to bid on fine wines, luxury experiences, and bespoke getaways, such as a week-long excursion to the South of France.

“Never has there been such a large gathering of Napa Valley Vintners outside of Napa Valley itself,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton. “We are honored to bring vintners from the finest winemaking region in the world to the East Coast, paired with some of the most celebrated chefs in the United States and internationally to raise a glass for a good cause.”

In the spirit of giving back, proceeds from the wine auction will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County and Napa Valley. This philanthropic endeavor underscores The Boca Raton’s commitment to supporting local communities and empowering the next generation through education and enrichment.
