A note from our Fete'n Founders
Vanessa James and Marcos Rodriguez curated their beloved Food, Wine, and Fete experience in 2019 with a heartfelt mission to honor their Caribbean roots and showcase the immense talent of the vibrant diaspora. Infused with an deep love for carnival, Soca music, the rich tapestry of the islands and its flavorful cuisine, Food, Wine, and Fete was born—a celebration of all things uniquely Caribbean.
This siganture event returns to the historic shores of Virginia Key Beach Park, this May, inviting foodies, feters and carnival lovers to indulge in an evening of culinary delights and high octane energy that only Soca music can provide. Join us as we celebrate the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean with exquisite dishes from renowned chefs and restaurateurs, paired with refreshing wines, rum infused cocktails and spirits from our esteemed partners.
In true VJMedia fashion, guests will be treated to curated pop-up experiences, exciting giveaways from our Caribbean tourism partners, and MORE to celebrate with our cherished community! We simply can’t wait to fete with you and we thank you for your support over the years!
