The 2024 events calendar in the BVI has just gotten more enticing.
The new seven-day British Virgin Islands Food & Wine Festival (BVIFWF) will add another sumptuous touch to an already exciting line up of events taking place in the territory. This festival also aligns with the new approach to celebrating the annual BVI Food Fete.
The First Annual BVI Food & Wine Festival will take place April 15th to 21st, 2024. This new Festival promises to be more than an event for foodies but for those seeking rich gastronomic experiences in a fun destination. The festival which will highlight food, wine, whiskey, beer will include wine pairing dinners, Whiskey and Cigar Night, a Grand Tasting Village, Mixology Contest and culminate with an all-day Beach party at Ivan’s on Jost Van Dyke.
“I am excited to launch the BVI Food & Wine Festival and to be working with the brilliant local and international chefs, connoisseurs, and Sommelier who will be the stars of the event,” says Abigail O’Neal, Owner and Organiser of the Festival.
“We have BVI’s own Neil Cline, educator, restaurateur, and culinary consultant as Executive Chef of the festival; French Classic trained and Michelin Star Chef Francis Reynard; Josie Smith-Malave former Bravo Top Chef competitor; Michael Ferraro, VP of Food & Beverage at the Tavistock Restaurant Portfolio; Muchamad Taufik aka Opick from Bali Indonesia and Head Chef at Prime Restaurant, and 26-year-old culinary prodigy hailing from Virgin Gorda Ariq Flax Clarke and more. So, patrons should book their tickets early.”
The multi-island event will be hosted in several locations - Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Virgin Gorda giving visitors an experience like no other; the ease of island hopping which can only be enjoyed in the BVI.
