South Beach Wine & Food Festival
Get to the tents. More importantly, get home from them.
SOBEWFF is a walking, tasting, standing-in-sand kind of week. MB Hotel is about 5 miles north of the festival grounds, with rooftop breakfast and Kalypso Beach lunch and dinner on property.
Daily Resort Fee: $32 + tax, charged per room, per night.
Location
The festival is south. Your bed does not have to be.
The South Beach Wine & Food Festival spreads across the South Beach sand, hotel ballrooms and restaurant dining rooms, with satellite events as far as the mainland. Almost none of it happens in the same place twice, which makes 'walking distance to the venue' a fiction — every attendee is riding somewhere.
Given that, the question is what you ride back to. MB Hotel is at 6525 Collins Avenue, about 5 miles north of the main grounds, on a residential block where a late night ends quietly and a slow morning is possible.
Breakfast is not included in your room rate. A full American buffet is served 8:00 am to 11:00 am daily at our fifth-floor oceanfront rooftop lounge. Packages start at $23 plus taxes and gratuity. Breakfast is run by a third-party vendor. Kalypso Beach serves lunch and dinner on the pool deck, with its own menu.

A quiet block to recover on
North Beach is residential. There is no street noise at three in the morning, which is the difference between four festival days and three.
An evening off, on site
Kalypso Beach's terrace and the pool deck cover the night you decide not to attend anything. Kalypso Beach is open Mon–Tue 11:30 am–5:00 pm; Wed, Thu, Sun 11:30 am–9:00 pm; Fri–Sat 11:30 am–10:00 pm.
