The Taste of Cayman Food and Wine Festival, the Islands’ largest annual food festival, will take place 5pm to 11.30pm on Saturday, 28 January. This year’s event is presented by Camana Bay and will stretch across the entire length of the Town Centre’s waterfront area.
Now in its 24th year, the popular festival is among the largest event of its kind in the Caribbean. This year will be no exception with more than 40 restaurants and food vendors offering samples of their finest creations, including several wine tents and bars with drinks from around the world. Festival-goers will find old favourites as well as restaurants that are brand new to Cayman and the event.
Taste of Cayman returns to the waterfront at Camana Bay, say organisers, but this year the festival area will extend behind 89 Nexus Way (the Ogier building) and will stretch across the full length of the boardwalk to the Crescent where the main stage will feature live music from local bands throughout the night.
During the night, Cayman’s restaurant talents will facilitate food tasting booths allowing guests to taste the best of Cayman’s local and international cuisine. The festival will also see the return of the highly coveted people’s choice award for Cayman’s Favourite Restaurant.
Complimentary wine
Upon entry, every adult ticket holder will receive a free Taste of Cayman wine glass as well as a complimentary wine pour from Californian winery, Wente. To help juggle eating and drinking while taking in the attractions, every adult will also receive a wine lanyard to hold their wine glasses.
Ken Hydes, Camana Bay’s Town Centre manager, said they were always delighted to host the Taste of Cayman festival.
“[I]t has been the cornerstone of culinary events in Cayman for more than 20 years,” Mr. Hydes said. “Camana Bay’s family of restaurants continues to grow and this festival is the perfect fit to showcase the array of culinary options on offer in our Town Centre.”
The outdoor festival will serve up cuisine from Cayman’s top culinary establishments, transforming Camana Bay into one of the largest food festivals in the Caribbean. Adult tickets may be entered into a prize drawing to win one of the following great prizes; a business class Cayman Airways flight for four persons to any Florida gateway with accommodation, one of two Cayman Airways ‘Sister Island’ flights for two persons, an Illy Coffee Machine complete with Illy coffee and a $500 Island Company pack.
Proceeds from Taste of Cayman support the nonprofit Cayman Islands Tourism Association and its efforts to enhance the tourism product.
