Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic
Friday, November 14 • Saturday, November 15, 2025 (Friday & Saturday Only)
We're not yet sure if the "Learn" portion of the event will return for 2025. The "Learn" portion of the event had featured unique seminars that provided guests with a deeper understanding of a particular culinary or beverage subject. The seminars are an extra cost activity, but a "causeway ticket" to the main festival is not needed to attend the seminars. Advanced purchase of seminar tickets is recommended as space is limited.

I've been to several of these events over the past decade and have posted about them here on Mealtrip — but (admittedly) under a not so easy to find category.
