Delray Beach continues its’ decade long tradition of producing unique and entertaining street festivals. Now in its fourth year the 2015 Delray Beach Wine & Seafood Festival offers visitors the opportunity to stroll the palm tree lined streets of Delray while enjoying a great glass of wine or a plate of seafood.

Along with the wide variety of seafood and wine, the Delray Beach Wine & Seafood Festival offers an interesting array of artists and crafters, many showcasing Florida coastal designed art and clothing.

You can expand your knowledge of wines at one of our many food and wine pairing seminars led by vintners from internationally renowned wineries. This year, wine makers from Napa Valley’s Cakebread, Plumbjack, Silver Oak and ZD Wineries, Sonoma’s Chalk Hill Winery and Italy’s Castello Banfi Winery, and France's Taittinger Champagne will share their wines and love for the grape.

Complete your experience by joining us at the Heineken Lounge located near the main stage for some great music and cold beer.
