Get excited, plant-based food lovers! The nation’s largest celebration of plant-based food and wine, Seed Food & Wine Festival, is coming BACK to the Magic City this November. With the main tasting event taking place at MANA Wynwood, Seed Food & Wine Festival fans can look forward to events all over Miami-Dade County. As if that weren’t enough, this festival isn’t just a one-day affair; it’s bringing a whole week of food- and health-focused fun with it.
Running from November 1 to 5, 2017, this year’s event will feature more than 200 exhibitors,  40 celebrity plant-based chefs, and 30 vegan experts, athletes, authors, and celebrities. From November 1 to 3, the annual Seed Summit will bring together influencers, content creators, and bloggers for a kick-off party in Miami Beach and two days of workshops and panels designed after the summit’s core mantra: “Elevate your mind, elevate your message, elevate your lifestyle.” On top of that, the Miami health-style brand, Live Ultimate, has partnered with the festival to host a the Live Ultimate Seed Food & Wine Walk/Run 5K through Wynwood on Saturday, November 4. This full-scale event will feature everything from the 5K itself to wellness, health, running, yoga, and meditation events, along with food, drinks, and music. You can register for it here.
And of course, no food event in Miami would be complete without participation from the city’s very own restaurants and chefs. In addition to celebrity and nationally-renowned plant-based culinary and wellness leaders, you will be able to taste the delicious, animal-free cuisine of Miami-based chefs like: Brad Kilgore (of Alter), Todd Erickson (of GLAM Vegan Miami, Huahua’s Taqueria, and previously, Zuma), Della Heiman (of Della’s Test Kitchen), Allen Susser (of The Café at Books & Books and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts), Brian Nasajon (of Beaker & Gray and previously, SUSHISAMBA), Cesar Zapata (The Federal), Nicole Votano (DIRT), and more.
