New Wine Tastings for 2026
West Palm Beach Greek Food & Wine Festival Introduces Guided Greek Wine Tastings
New tasting experiences debut at the 51st annual festival hosted by St. Catherine Greek
Orthodox Church
The West Palm Beach Greek Food & Wine Festival will debut new guided Greek wine tasting
experiences as part of this year’s celebration, offering guests a curated journey through the wine
regions of Greece. Hosted by St. Catherine Greek Orthodox Church, the festival returns for its
51st year with three days of authentic Greek cuisine, music, dance, and family-friendly cultural
programming in West Palm Beach.
“As the festival continues to grow, we’re excited to introduce guided Greek wine tastings that
invite guests to experience Greece in a deeper way,” said Christine Menedis, Chair of this year’s
Festival. “It’s a natural extension of a festival that has always been about sharing culture,
hospitality, and tradition.”
Festival Highlights
Authentic Greek Cuisine – Traditional dishes from the Greek kitchen just like yiayia used to
make, including stuffed grape leaves, moussaka, spanakopita, lamb shank, and saganaki, alongside Greek grill favorites like lamb chops, souvlaki and gyro. Guests can enjoy fresh Greek salads, loukoumades, pastries, and sweets, as well as Greek coffee and frappé (Greek iced coffee), with non-alcoholic beverages and kid-friendly options available.
Wine, Spirits & Tastings – A full bar featuring Greek wines and spirits, including Ouzo and Metaxa, a dedicated wine bar, and curated Greek wine tastings such as the Core, Macedonia Reserve, and Santorini Reserve experiences. Select tastings offer an optional dessert wine addon featuring Vinsanto and other sweet Greek selections, providing guests with a guided tasting journey through Greece’s wine regions.
Music, Dance & Culture – Live Greek band performances featuring traditional bouzouki music, Greek folk dancing, and interactive dance lessons open to all ages throughout the weekend. Guests can learn the Sirtaki, “Zorba’s Dance,” and experience the artistry and rhythm of the “Heart of Greece” Greek Folk Dance Group and the award-winning Hellenic Dance Festival Competition Team, “Athanato Fos,” as they showcase dances from across Greece, including the islands, Macedonia, Crete, Thrace, and the Peloponnese.
Shopping & Family Fun – Unique boutiques, imported Greek goods and groceries, arts and crafts, old-school carnival booth games, and face painting for kids. Guests can also enjoy guided opportunities to tour St. Catherine Greek Orthodox Church, built in 1952 and known for its original Byzantine architecture.
