The Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival is back for another four days of nothing but food, drink and fun, and as per usual, all the uber-hot parties are totally sold out by now. But thanks to SBWFF exploding in size over the years, you don't even have to try crashing Burger Bash again -- there's plenty of really good stuff to go around! Tickets are still available for everything from chocolate pairings to pig roasts to all the Bobby Flay a Food Network devotee could want -- he's smokey, but slightly acidic -- and even a Sunday in the quick-selling Grand Tasting Village.
Perhaps best of all, proceeds from SBWFF benefit Florida International University's Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management and the Southern Wine & Spirits Beverage Center. With festival-goers raising $14 million in SBWFF's 11 years, there's really no event that isn't worth it.
Check out a round up of available events below -- and be sure to grab tickets here before they're all gobbled up.
