In its 16th year in 2023 The Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival (PBFWF) announced a joint venture with Wine Spectator, part of a plan to expand the growing festival’s programming.
The event was founded by David Sabin and Lindsay Autry and celebrates incredible cuisine and top-rated wines and spirits made by some of the world’s most renowned chefs, winemakers and distillers, allowing food and wine lovers to enjoy them in a variety of idyllic settings.

“Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Wine Spectator, is not just a long-time friend of the festival, but also a personal friend to me and Lindsay,” said Sabin. “Our relationship grew organically; I’d bounce ideas off him and always valued his feedback because it was clear that we shared the same passion for food, beverage and community. This has been 10-plus years in the making, not because we necessarily ‘wanted’ a partner, but because we knew Marvin was the partner we needed.”
