Boca Bacchanal – A Weekend of Food, Wine, and Fun
The weekend of March 28-30th was the official weekend of the Boca Bacchanal. Top notch chefs and vintners from all over the country and the world came to Boca to showcase their exclusive wine selections and give the community a taste of their specialty dishes.
On its 12th year the event began with a vintner dinner on Friday at six different venues, and the party continued on Saturday with the Bacchus Bash at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, where guests not only enjoyed the food and wine, but were also able to participate in silent and live auctions. This weekend of celebration came to an end with the Grand Tasting at the Mizner Park Amphitheatre, where attendees enjoyed over 140 wines and savored specialties prepared by acclaimed chefs from South Florida restaurants. All the guests enjoyed the food and wines, while dancing to the sounds of a live performance by Miami’s Afro-Cuban Funk band PALO.
The funds raised through the Boca Bacchanal benefit the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum, helping to preserve and share the city’s local history. Museum interns and volunteers, like FAU student Elenie Louvaris, were present all around the tent-covered theatre wearing their recognizable burgundy T-shirts, making sure chefs, vintners, and guests alike enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.
