Over the past week, Miami has been flooded with winos and foodies alike for the annual South Beach Wine and Food Festival. In the mix of top chefs was the one-and-only Giada De Laurentiis, chef, author, and Food Network personality. Known for her Italian flavors and world-class restaurants it was with excitement that Haute Living celebrated Laurentiis cover with Oceania Cruises at Five Park Miami Beach.

As the Florida sun shined on Saturday afternoon, guests joined Haute Living at Five Park Miami Beach to wine and dine with Laurentiis. The lunch began with Italian-flavored tapas including Italian Bruschetta, Smoked Salmon Tartare, and Mini Roasted Potatoes.
