New York City Wine & Food Festival (NYCWFF)

The New York City Wine & Food Festival is one of the most powerful culinary platforms in the country. A multi-day takeover of New York City, the festival convenes the chefs, restaurants, mixologists, and culinary personalities who define the modern food scene, all under one nationally recognized brand.

With 80+ events spanning grand tastings, intimate dinners, walk-around parties, chef demonstrations, and late-night experiences, NYCWFF creates high-frequency touchpoints between brands and a deeply engaged audience. This is not passive attendance. It is face-to-face access to consumers who spend on premium food, wine, spirits, travel, and lifestyle products.

Now entering its 19th year, the 2026 edition marks a major evolution. The festival introduces a new centralized campus at NYC’s iconic Seaport alongside a culinary campus hosted by world-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The result is a more concentrated footprint, elevated hospitality environments, and greater brand integration across programming.

The audience scale is significant.

35,000+ attendees

200+ media placements

180M+ advertising impressions

50 press and influencer attendees

Supported by category leaders like Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits and the James Beard Foundation, NYCWFF offers unmatched cultural credibility and commercial relevance.

This is not just a festival. It is a high-impact, celebrity-driven culinary moment with nationwide visibility and premium consumer access.

Bold experiences. Curated culinary culture. Measurable national reach.
