The Ultimate Guide to Savor St. Pete Food & Wine Festival 2025🍷✨

Cheers to an unforgettable weekend where flavor, fun, and Florida sunshine collide!

I’m excited to share that I’m your new Savor St. Pete Food & Wine Festival Correspondent this year! As someone who lives and breathes St. Pete’s food and culture scene, this one’s especially close to my heart and taste buds.

Through my Savor Chef Sessions, I’m spotlighting the rockstar chefs of St. Pete — celebrating their artistry, flavors, and personalities in a way that’s authentic, playful, and oh-so-delicious. From the kitchens of local favorites to the waterfront magic of Vinoy Park, we’re diving fork-first into what makes Tampa Bay’s culinary scene truly shine. 👩🏻‍🍳✨

I got to talk to Chef Jason Miller from the Melting Pot, Chef Steve down at Coconut Charlie’s St. Pete Beach, Chef Lee Aquino from Birch & Vine, and Chef David Asher at Taverna Costale — ahead of the festival weekend to learn a bit more about what eats they’re bringing to the festival and the Chef’s competition and it will be culinary epicness!

From coastal-inspired bites to chef-driven creations, every dish tells a story — and this year’s lineup is proof that St. Pete’s food scene is having its moment. 🌴✨

🌞 Stay in Style: Where to Check In

If you’re visiting from out of town (or just turning the weekend into a staycation, because why not?), two of my favorite St. Pete hotels have you covered.

🏖️ The Vinoy Resort — for timeless luxury, waterfront views, and the kind of pool deck that practically glows at golden hour.

💫 Moxy St. Pete — for downtown energy, bold design, and the perfect spot to sip cocktails and keep the festival fun flowing.

Both hotels are just steps away from all the Savor action — and trust me, they make the perfect home base to relax, recharge, and toast to another round of rosé under the sun. 🍹🌇

👗 Dress the Part: Festival Style Inspo

You know your St. Pete Gals are showing up in style. 💃☀️ From chic daytime looks to evening wine-tasting glam, we’re turning to our favorite local boutiques — zaa dress up studio and Bobbles and Lace St. Pete — to help us find the perfect festival fits. Because when it comes to Savor weekend, it’s all about food, fashion, and fun under the sun! 👗💖
