Miami Beach, FL – February 22, 2025 – Hailed as “the Oscars of wine and food,” the South Beach Wine & Food Festival® Tribute Dinner is the crown jewel of the culinary world, hosted this year by master of ceremonies Marcus Samuelsson.

Set at the luxurious Loews Miami, the 2025 Tribute Dinner honored two icons—Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn and renowned vintner Gérard Bertrand—celebrating their groundbreaking contributions to gastronomy and winemaking. 

The exclusive evening, part of The The New York Times Dinner Series, brought together an extraordinary lineup of world-class chefs, including Alain Ducasse, Nancy Silverton, Diego Oka, and Cat Cora, who crafted an unforgettable culinary experience.
From Crenn’s poetic approach to French cuisine to Bertrand’s masterful wines from Languedoc, the Tribute Dinner harvested a night of artistry, innovation, and indulgence for food and wine connoisseurs alike.
