The Seed Festival did it again!! WOW, what a fantastic event…read more I loved it, the only bad thing was that the weather did not cooperate because it was hotter than usual for a November morning in Miami. Other than that, everything was great. Delicious vegan food and with exquisite touch and taste. The vibe was beyond amazing at this gorgeous location in our pretty Miami. The pictures can speak for themselves. They had different water drinks, juices, and my fav: a Muralita. Which was beer with tequila and juice...YUMMY!! The live jazz music from a band was playing at all times. Many chairs and sofas as well as tables and chairs for us to enjoy. Thank you, everyone!!!

I am surprised at the low rating of this event, I guess I really lucked out in attending the event…read moreon Sunday instead of Saturday, which according to the exhibitors and fellow Yelpers, was over-crowded. It was fairly easy to find street parking, and the hotel itself is modern and beautiful. The event has a good representation of different rosé, Many from France, mostly Provence but other regions as well, and others from Spain, Italy, Chile and even South Africa and Morocco, though nothing domestic, which is a bit disappointing. Varietals range from the traditional granache, temperillo, pinot noir and chardonnay, to unusual ones like a merlot rosé from Navarra. For sparkling wine, there are real champagnes being poured, Pommery and Nicolas Feuillatte. This event really allows me to sample the many style of rosé side by side. You will notice the difference between the light, mineraly old world rosé and the big, jammy ones from new world, as well as the difference of rosé made from different grapes. At the Nicolas Feuillatte booth, you get to sample the brut and demi-sec. At Ferrari's, you are offered a NV and vintage brut. Moreover, some booths were manned by representative or even owner of the vineyards/regions, who are knowledgeable about wine and are happy to hold a discussion. I walked away knowing a bit more about rosé and what styles I like. There is a VIP area, which serves charcuterie and cheese, cocktail shrimp, oysters and desserts - all perfect with a glass of rosé! (However, I must admit that I got a complimentary trade ticket, and when I learned that it costs $125, I would say for that price I would expect more food - enough as a meal, not just munchies.) I am not giving it 4 stars because I got a free ticket from Yelp. I didn't. I had a good time at the event, it was well organized with good samples to taste. For someone interested in learning and trying different types of rosé, this event is perfect. The number of wine is just right, without overwhelming my taste buds. As my companion said, it would be lovely if they do a similar event for say, Cab or Sauvignon Blanc.

First off I want to thank Yelp Miami and our wonderful CM Cassie for giving me such a great…read moreopportunity to attend this event. I know SOBE can be a pain with parking so we uber to the event. Walking in, I was really impressed with the hotel. I had never actually been there before and I am now definitely a fan. The view outside is amazing and the décor is classy and very clean. Everyone was wearing their fun and unique representation of white or pink. It was fun to see how different everyone was dressed. We got to try a wide variety of Rose wines and bubbly and paired with the VIP area seafood and charcuterie and cheese it made for a delicious pairing. I didn't know what to expect, but the oysters and crab legs were delicious. I will admit though, I kind of wish there was a little more to eat, but for a light appetizer and delicious glass of wine, it was the perfect pairing. The vendors were all great in explaining and pouring their product. Both inside and outside, the DJ was playing some really great music. There was a fun photo booth you can take fun pictures at and lets not even start with the sunset. It was awesome to se everyone outside with their glass of Rose watching the sunset over the water. I definitely had a great time at the event and would love to do it again!

This was such a great event! The ticket prices were so reasonable for this experience…read more First off, the weather was beautiful which made for a great day on the golf course! There were so many vendors which is what really made it such an amazing event. There was plenty of swag and all of the vendors were friendly and generous! The only reason I have it 4 stars is because of the parking situation. The signage directed us to one parking lot that was completely full. We circled the lot for a solid 5 minutes before we finally saw someone in a golf cart and we had to ask him if there was anywhere else we could park. He then told us there was another lot and sent us that way, but again, there wasn't sufficient signage. But once we got in, all of the tents were marked and the staff was prepared at the check in tent. We had a lot of fun and would 100% attend this event again.

This event exceeded my expectations…read more Giada De Laurentiis was a doll and Buddy Valastro was super friendly. Event was very organized and the vendors were top notch. I absolutely loved the venue at Wynwood. DJ was excellent.

Ah, the South Beach Wine and Food Festival. It may as well be Christmas to us Yelpers…read more That said, my boyfriend won tickets to the Italian Bites on the Beach event and I happily accompanied him as his +1. This event was held at the beach near the Delano Hotel and good thing we used Lyft. The event was rampant with people. It amazed me that an hour into the event, Corsair already ran out of their short rib macaroni and cheese. This only continued as the night went on. I honestly think that the vendors didn't have any idea how popular some of their dishes would be. Some of the lines were insane. Giada De Laurentiis was also there as a guest star. To even get her autograph was downright impossible. Way too crowded. I really enjoyed this event because there was so much food. We left full. I do think, though, that they can work on some things. For one, only part of it was tented and it started to rain. They could manage the crowds better, too. And let's not even start on finding the bathroom. Found some new favorites though. I want to go to Mimi's Ravioli and Zucca soon.

The food at the event was ok. The worst part was they kept mixing up orders. So I ordered a burger…read moreand they gave me the wrong one. I had already walked away to sit down and eat before I realized it. Oh well. Food selection was good but they tend to run out of items by the end of the night. I had a turkey leg, a burger, empanadas and fries. All were good. There isn't much respite from the sun. I would recommend a sun shirt or a towel to cover up or stay in the shade as best as you can. Definitely use sunblock. We saw some severely burned concert goers. The Nashville stage was the only one with shade. It had up and coming artists. It was fun. No VIP area. The Sunset stage was the secondary stage. It had Ice Cube, Dustin Lynch, the Wheeland Brothers, The Fray, and Sons of Legion, among others. The main stage had Russell Dickerson, Colbie Caillat, Kenny Chesney, post Malone, Riley green, uncle cracker etc. As VIP, I had no issues with lines for food, drink or bathrooms. However, getting from one stage to another was a challenge. All the ticket types mix together and there was really only one walkway which made it slow and annoying to go back and forth. There has been mention that they need to have a separate walkway to super vip. I would buy the super vip ticket if they did that. There was one fight that broke out in VIP. I don't notice any other fights. It's crazy- you spend all that money and you still can't get away from the riff raff. I would go to this concert again. Next time I will do the SVIP so I can have a shaded area to view the concert and so that all my food is included that way if I get the wrong burger, ir some too g that I don't really like, I can go again and get something else. They also have an air conditioned tent to get away from the heat a bit. We shared the pool area but that "pool" is more like a bowl of water. I didn't see any filtration system so it's probably full of urine. I never saw them empty or refill it so by Sunday I'm sure it's a cesspool. Yuck. Getting to the concert was easy. We walked from our hotel. At the end of the night they close the Main Street there to let everyone walk out. It was very safe. I don't get any merchandise. Things seemed a bit overpriced and I did not want to hang on to it all day. They have lockers that are expensive. SVIP gets a locker included and they got a concert style insulated mug. I would admit the SVIP isn't much better than the VIP and of course I'd never bet my moneys worth of food and drink, but I would do it for comfort. We shall see about next year. Hopefully I'll be on the early presale list because we went this year. Tickets go up over time so it's cheaper to buy early.

Eight years straight and still one of the best weekends of my year…read more Take a perfect South Florida beach day. Blue water, sand in your shoes, that salty breeze you can't bottle. Now layer in live music from names like Post Malone and Kenny Chesney, plus a crowd that somehow feels massive and tight knit at the same time. That's Tortuga Music Festival. Here's the simplest way to put it If happiness had a ZIP code, it would be the Tortuga beach. Or this one Three days, zero worries, and just enough sunscreen regret to remind you it was real. But what really separates Tortuga is the purpose behind the party. Between sets, you're surrounded by ocean conservation efforts and real education around protecting marine life, especially our sea turtles. You come for the music and leave knowing you accidentally did something good for the planet. Not a bad trade. This year, one honest knock. The main stage sound felt low and at times it was tough to fully catch the performances. You could see the energy, just not always hear it the way you wanted to. A little more volume and this thing goes from very good to elite. Even with that, this is still a five star experience without hesitation. Because it's bigger than just the music. It's friends, family, sun, sand, and moments you end up talking about all year. And the people watching... just WOW! Tortuga isn't just an event. It's a tradition. And I'm already counting down to year nine.

Burger bash is such a great event. Especially if you love BURGERS!…read more I've come to this event about three times. Everytime it's better and better! The burgers they have to eat are SO GOOD. you have to come with an appetite. The event is on the sand so always comfortable shoes are encouraged. It's by the water so it's windy. Keep that in mind. The lines are very long at times so again be prepared with comfy shoes and patience. I wasn't too much of a fan of the Coca-Cola drinks they had this year (their cocktails). They were promoting a new Coke product containing raspberry I believe but I wasn't a fan. The fever tree cocktail was delicious and the Tito's bar had great drinks. They had two music options too which was cool. They had a live band as well as a DJ. Both were excellent.

There were so many burgers and I had to Pace myself and figure out which ones were worth trying. Several of them had guava on them. I guess this is the new trend. It was fun and interesting to try Burgers from all over the country. A burger from New York won. The name I of the restaurant is The Butter Restaurant. I tried this burger and enjoyed it. I do wish there were more fries. There were a few restaurants that gave some fries. There were some great cookies from Owl Cookies. I also tried a delicious ice cream sandwich from Portland, Oregon. They offered canned wine from a brand I've never heard of. It is called Merf Wines. Their red wine is actually really good. The lines got long at some places but the lines were pretty manageable overall. This was a very fun event and we appreciated Yelp for choosing my daughter as a winner.

I was genuinely excited to attend the 2026 Mango Fest, but unfortunately the event was one of the…read moremost disorganized experiences I've ever attended. To begin with, the website does not provide enough information about what to expect, where to park, how entry works, or which activities require additional tickets. Had that information been clearly communicated beforehand, it would have prevented a lot of confusion and frustration. The problems started with parking. There appeared to be only one person directing traffic, and he looked completely overwhelmed. After sitting in the parking garage for about 15 minutes, security began telling vehicles to turn around. Fortunately, I didn't leave and eventually found a parking space. Once we reached the elevators, there were what looked to be well over 100 people trying to enter at the same time. There were no cones, barricades, or organized queue lines. People were cutting in front of one another, tensions were rising, and everyone was becoming frustrated. It took us approximately one hour just to get inside. Our tickets cost about $32 per person, nearly $100 for three people. However, even after finally entering the building, we had to stand in yet another long line just to receive wristbands. Eventually the staff appeared to give up on checking tickets altogether and simply handed out wristbands. Unfortunately, the confusion continued once inside. There was no guidance explaining how the event worked or where to go. Based on the advertising, I assumed mango tastings were included with admission. After waiting another 25 to 30 minutes in line, I discovered that the mango tasting required the purchase of a completely separate ticket. This was never made clear when purchasing admission. When I went to purchase the additional tasting ticket, I was told they were no longer selling them for another hour and a half because the lines were too long. During my entire visit, I spent almost all of my time standing in lines instead of enjoying the festival. I was only lucky enough to taste two mangoes. Considering the size of the crowd, there were surprisingly few vendors or activities. The event simply did not seem prepared for the number of attendees. What concerned me most was trying to speak with someone about these issues. I spoke with a volunteer named Ritu and politely asked who was in charge. She told me there was a director walking around somewhere but said she didn't know the director's name. I asked how I could identify or contact them, and every response was, "I don't know." She couldn't provide a name, description, or any way to reach the person responsible. That left me wondering how attendees are supposed to report concerns or resolve issues if volunteers don't know who is managing the event. I truly wanted this event to be successful because it has great potential. However, much better planning is needed. Clear communication before the event, organized parking, structured entry lines, better crowd management, more signage, clearer explanations about what admission includes, and staff who know who to contact when problems arise would dramatically improve the experience. I hope the organizers take this feedback seriously because Mango Fest could become an incredible annual event with better organization.

This is my third mango festival at Fairchild. I highly recommend the mango festival. It's a…read morecelebration of this wonderful fruit that grows here in South Florida, soaking up the ample sun and warmth of this tropical climate, producing something divine. The mango is a gift, with its natural sweetness and the joy we experience when eating it. Why did I give the festival a 3/5 if I love this fruit so much and return to it every year? Mostly because me and my group expected to actually TASTE real live varieties of mango. Mangos were indeed sold but most of the ripe ones were gone as early as noon the first day and none were offered freshly sliced for tasting. I mean, you go to a wine festival and you taste wines, you go to a craft beer festival and you taste craft beers, but at this mango festival I think the entire time we got to eat one piece of fresh mango . Makes no sense. We bought tix to the Mango Spectrum expecting a curated mango tasting; instead, it was a few samples of tequila, rum, one piece of mango, and chocolate. It was good, don't get me wrong, but I thought it could have been described better in the festival email so that our expectations would have matched. I also would have appreciated a listing of the different lectures ahead of the festival so they we could plan the day better. Still, just being at Fairchild Tropical Gardens is alone a justification to attend this yearly festival. The grounds are a lush tropical paradise and you can wander beyond the festival to explore the botanical areas. This year the parking was much better, I think because we got there a bit earlier in the day.

We spoke on the phone with Jemme Herrera to schedule the event. The deal was that they will play for us on May 5th at 3:30 pm for 45 mins. Our 90 and 100 year old residents were looking forward to the party, we decorated the space, bought a lot of Mexican and Latin food.. it was such a big deal for poor elderly. In the morning Jemme confirmed that they were coming over.. yet when they arrived they told us that they have another emergency booking ( that is obviously paying more money).. so they are leaving. In the end, after begging them they agreed to sing 3 songs, which took them 10 minutes. Then they left.. they didn't care about all these old people, because someone paid them 100 dollars more last minute. I approached Jemme to ask him for the official name of the company, so I can speak with his director and leave a review online. He lied to me, and gave me a completely wrong name. So, I decided to google his phone number.. and in the end I found this mariachi company. Please stay away from these people if you want to have a successful fun party. My heart was breaking seeing sad faces of our residents.. not to mention hundreds of dollars spent on food and decorations.
