Every winter, the Boston Harbor Hotel becomes a beacon for culinary connoisseurs and wine aficionados, hosting the acclaimed Boston Wine & Food Festival. What began as an intimate gathering of wine enthusiasts has grown into one of the most celebrated events of its kind, drawing guests and renowned chefs from across the globe.

The roots of the festival trace back to 1989, when Boston’s vibrant culinary scene was gaining recognition. The idea was simple yet ambitious: bring together the best winemakers, chefs, and gourmands to celebrate food, wine, and the artistry behind them. Hosted by the Boston Harbor Hotel, a symbol of elegance and hospitality, the event quickly became a winter tradition, offering locals and visitors a reason to indulge during the colder months.

As the festival evolved, so did its offerings. From its early days featuring wine pairings and chef-driven dinners, the event expanded into a full-fledged celebration of global cuisine and fine wine. Each year, the festival showcases exclusive wine dinners, interactive seminars, and grand tastings, with the hotel’s luxurious setting amplifying the experience.
