Our Happy Sponsors

Cunard
"2025 was the first time Cunard attended the South Beach Wine & Food Festival® ahead of our ship, Queen Elizabeth homeporting in Miami – so we really wanted to showcase our fabulous food and beverage offering to our new friends, neighbors, and partners. The SOBEWFF® really helped us highlight our incredible cuisine, like our extremely popular British favorite ‘fish and chips’, in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Working with the SOBEWFF® team was fantastic and we’d like to thank them for giving us the opportunity to tell our story to a new audience. And what fun we had!" - Liz Fettes, Senior Vice President, Commercial North America
Russell Stover

"Suntory Global Spirits was proud to illuminate the South Beach Wine & Food Festival® with the spirit of Japan at this year's Asian Night Market. Showcasing our revered Japanese liquors, including Roku, Legent, Toki, and Haku, we offered festival-goers a taste of innovation through our specialty cocktails served at our immersive setups. Notably, our Roku Gin zone, featuring a cherry blossom photo opportunity, captivated guests with its beauty and authenticity, while our Minus 196 area provided a refreshing glimpse into a Japanese convenience store experience, complete with 'Arigato' tote bags and cool photo moments. It was a privilege to connect with both new fans and longtime enthusiasts of our brands, sharing a slice of Japanese culture and hospitality." - Pam Martinez, Sr. Field Marketing Manager
