Food & drink · West Palm Beach / Palm Beach / Boca Raton / Miami
Taste your way through the Palm Beaches
Food tours, cooking classes, market challenges, and 2026 tasting events to share.
Make curiosity the menu. Choose a guided tasting, learn a dish together, or give each other control of the next bite. These dates offer more ways to enjoy food than choosing another dinner reservation.
Let a food tour introduce downtown
West Palm Beach Food Tours offers a downtown tasting route led by a guide. Check the specific departure and discuss dietary needs before booking. Leave the restaurant research to the tour and compare favorite discoveries afterward.
Learn the dish, then make it yours
Choose an Eataly or Sur La Table class with a menu both people want to eat. Confirm the session format and shared-workstation arrangements. The follow-up date writes itself: cook your favorite recipe at home.
Choose each other’s market bite
At the West Palm GreenMarket, set a snack budget and take turns choosing something to share. Try one familiar favorite and one surprise. Seasonal hours and closure dates are listed in the directory.
Make November a tasting month
Dream Asia at the South Florida Fairgrounds runs November 6–8, with food purchases separate from admission. Boca’s Wine & Food Festival Grand Tasting is November 21 and is restricted to adults 21 and over. Choose the format that fits your budget and appetite.
Dress up for December’s food festival
The Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival lists a December 10 dinner at Florie’s and its December 13 Grand Tasting in West Palm Beach. Both are 21+. Decide between a seated occasion and a walk-around tasting, then book the actual event.
Try masa-making in Miami
Vizcaya Village’s October 25 heirloom-corn workshop gives a Miami afternoon a hands-on food focus. The listing is free with registration; confirm two spaces and use the Village address across from the museum estate.
