This past weekend, the second annual SAVOR SoFLO Festival took place in the heart of the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk in Broward County. The two-day festival took place on Saturday and Sunday, April 30 and May 1, behind the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. The event promised some of the best cocktails and bites from a wide range of South Florida’s top-tier culinary talent, and they sure did deliver.
With a beautiful view of the beach, Florida Insider indulged in a ton of tasty bites from sponsors such as Bolay, Street Eats by Drastix, Noodle Station, Twin Peaks, Vicky Bakery, Toro by Chef Richard Sandoval, Publix, and many more.
Not only did the event offer a colorful palette of food tastings, but several beer, wine, and spirit sponsors were also present. From famous beer brands such as Funky Buddha Brewery and Voodoo Ranger to spirits like Casamigos Tequila and Bacardi, the list of drink sponsors was endless.
General admission tickets were priced at $85 and included unlimited tastings from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. VIP tickets were sold for $125 and included exclusive access to the VIP Spirits Lounge which features premier and innovative spirits, along with complete access to unlimited tastings from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The price of the tickets was completely worth it for a day full of indulging in unlimited, delicious cocktails and eats.
Each year, SAVOR SoFLO gets better and better. The festival was sprawling with eventgoers enjoying all of the unlimited tastings on a sunny South Florida day and with a perfect view of the beach.
