About Us
The Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Invesco QQQ (NYCWFF) is NYC’s premier wine and food festival, celebrating 18 years of unforgettable culinary experiences.
Our five day annual Festival showcases the talents of the world’s most renowned chefs, restaurants, creators, celebrities, wine and spirits producers, mixologists and America’s beloved television chefs through more than 50 events—including walk-around tastings, intimate dinners, cocktail parties, brunches, master classes and FoodieCon®—highlighting the vibrant energy of NYC’s food scene.
Now in its 18th year, NYCWFF is reimagining the Festival experience with a brand-new campus in the historic Seaport neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, offering an elevated, waterfront setting for its signature events and beloved experiences. The Seaport will set the stage for an immersive, world-class culinary experience – a not-to-be-missed celebration of food, drink and culture.
