Showcasing local flavor, wine, and chef creations yearly

























"Returning this year, acclaimed NOWFE includes chef seminars, wine dinners, brunch events, and grand tastings; individual event tickets are available and there are three package tiers ranging from the $258 tasting package to a $1,000 VIP package." - Justine Jones

"I regard NOWFE as an acclaimed June event offering seminars, wine dinners, brunches, grand tastings, and the Ella Brennan Award Gala, with ticket packages ranging from a $258 tasting package to a $1,000 VIP package and individual event tickets also available." - Clair Lorell

"Returning in June for its 31st year, the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience (NOWFE) is one of the city’s ritziest—and pricier—food and drink festivals, featuring dozens of events (wine dinners, tastings, excursions, seminars and hands-on classes) and having raised more than $1.5 million for local nonprofit culinary education organizations over the last three decades; I see it as both an educational and indulgent week of food and wine, with offerings from cake-decorating lessons to high-end tasting events." - Clair Lorell

"Among the festivals canceled in March 2020 at the pandemic’s outset, the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience later held a modified event in spring 2021 that adhered to the coronavirus restrictions in place at the time." - Clair Lorell

"I noted that the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience, a five-day gathering of wine makers and enthusiasts, has been postponed and that tickets will be honored for a later date in 2020." - Clair Lorell
