For nearly three decades, Bern’s Winefest has been more than just a celebration of food and drink — it’s a ritual, a feast, and a phenomenon. Every year, wine lovers, culinary adventurers, and curious first-timers descend upon South Tampa to be part of this iconic week-long affair. Mark your calendars, because April 21–27, 2025, is when the magic unfolds — culminating with the Grand Tasting Experience.
A Taste of Legacy: What Is Bern’s Winefest?
Think of Bern’s Winefest as the Super Bowl of South Tampa’s culinary scene. Hosted by the Laxer Family Foundation, this event isn’t just about sipping fine wine — it’s a fundraising powerhouse, a gastronomic pilgrimage, and a celebration of craftsmanship. The proceeds support the Bern Laxer Memorial Scholarship Fund, administered by the James Beard Foundation, empowering future talents in culinary arts, hospitality, and viticulture — the soul of winemaking.
