The Boca Raton is set to welcome back Artisans of Wine & Food for a second edition, January 15-18, 2026. The landmark South Florida resort will once again bring Napa Valley’s top winemakers and world-renowned chefs together in an immersive four-day celebration of craftsmanship, cuisine, and community.

In partnership with Napa Valley Vintners and presenting sponsor Capital One, the weekend will host the largest gathering of Napa Valley vintners outside of California. More than 100 wineries and 20 Michelin-starred and celebrated chefs will create an unmatched atmosphere of discovery and indulgence.

Building on the success of its debut, the 2026 edition promises an even greater experience. Guests will enjoy exclusive access to vintners, winemakers, and owners, making this event unique among food and wine festivals. The Boca Raton’s rich 100-year history of luxury provides the perfect setting for guests to sip, savor, and socialize in refined style.

President and CEO Daniel A. Hostettler noted that the weekend is more than a culinary showcase. It is a chance to engage directly with Napa Valley’s most influential voices while contributing to meaningful causes. Proceeds will benefit Place of Hope in Palm Beach County and the Napa Valley Vintners Youth Wellness Initiative.

Over four days, the resort will be transformed into a playground of wine and gastronomy. From the lush gardens of Harborside to the oceanfront of Beach Club, each venue will host experiences designed to celebrate craftsmanship. Guests can join vintner-hosted lunches, chef-curated dinners, or relax at the Discover Napa Valley Tasting Pavilion presented by Morgan Stanley.

The Winemaker Series will provide opportunities to learn directly from industry leaders. Highlights include a Retrospective Tasting of Diamond Creek Vineyards with Nicole Carter, a masterclass with Quintessa’s Rebekah Wineburg, and reflections from Tor Kenward on five decades of winemaking. Guests can also experience a RIEDEL glassware seminar and intimate tastings with boutique producers such as The Vice winery.

Culinary programming promises to be equally dynamic. A Premiere Napa Valley dinner by two-Michelin-starred Chef Guy Savoy will bring a Parisian flair. The Great Cabernets of Napa Valley Dinner pairs Alpha Omega Winery, Chandon, and Hourglass Winery with a menu by Chef Massimo Falsini.

Blackberry Farm’s Sarah Steffan will lead a farm-to-table Dinner En Plein Air alongside Chappellet Vineyard, Grace Family Vineyards, and Frank Family Vineyards. Guests can also look forward to an Omakase Experience from Taek Lee of Takato restaurant in Fort Lauderdale.

Daytime activities include the Vintners Invitational Golf Tournament and the inaugural Pickleball Classic. Food lovers can explore Burgers & Barrels, presented by Weber grills, where celebrity chefs showcase their favorite burger creations paired with select wines and craft beers.

The pinnacle of the weekend will be A Vintners Gala: CARBONE at Artisans of Wine & Food, sponsored by Moss Construction. The Grand Lawn and Grand Ballroom will be transformed into a dazzling venue where Chef Mario Carbone presents a decadent Italian-American feast. Each table will be hosted by a Napa Valley vintner, and the evening will culminate in a charity auction, live entertainment, and a fireworks finale.
