Vanessa James, an Entrepreneur and Cultural Ambassador with deep Caribbean roots, with vast knowledge of the diaspora and its landscape of opportunities has created an all-inclusive culinary & music experience that celebrates the vibrant tapestry of Caribbean culture in a lavish styled affair.

The inaugural Food, Wine and Fete experience celebrates and will amplify the brightest and most buzzed-about Caribbean chefs, mixologists, and local foodies in the multicultural culinary and spirits industry of South Florida.

“I felt this was the right time to introduce and bring to market Food, Wine and Fete to an already vibrant and motivated Caribbean community. I hope the event will only amplify the multicultural tapestry of Miami and beyond,” states Vanessa James, event founder.

Attendees will have the opportunity to indulge in an array of savory Caribbean dishes, cultural light bites, perfectly blended cocktails, and wine pairings to delight the senses, while infectious sounds and insatiable vibes of Soca music electrifies their waistlines.
