Aventura Wine and Food Festival 2014

January 12, 2014 By Eleanor Hoh 3 Comments

So it seems every single city has its own wine and food festival and today Aventura presented its first festival on a beautiful sunny day. The concept is a great idea because it’s a fabulous way to hang out with friends, taste a lot of different cuisines from local restaurants and try a variety of wines all in one place! Just be aware of long lines to enter and at the food and wine tents and wear appropriate clothing and shoes!

I only managed to get tastings from 3 restaurants: Mister Collins (Bal Harbour); Toro Toro (Pan Asian fusion inside downtown Intercontinental Hotel) and Fish Fish (North Miami). All served ceviche cause it’s the easiest dish to serve! So disappointed Chef Ryan Harrison didn’t have cooking facilities for his spiced popcorn at the Mas Vino tent, maybe next year!

If you’re an entrepreneur or thinking of being one, this is the best way to get loads of information and also meet other like-minded folks to brainstorm, network and get potential business! I’ve been since day one, congrats Michelle Villalobos for putting this on!

From attending these summits, I’ve now had 2 especially good experiences: 1) an awesome mentor who gave me some fantastic advice and really made me think about my business from another perspective 2) attendees who heard my :30 sec pitch on stage helped me spread the word about Wok Star!No matter what kind of business you’re in, these summits are so helpful for brainstorming your ideas, networking to get new business or just socializing and getting out for a bit instead of working on our own at home. Hope to see you there!
