Food & Wine and Rum

Barbados will host its second annual
Food & Wine and Rum Festival this coming November 18-21.

It will be four days of cooking demonstrations, rum and wine tastings and gourmet dinners to be held at some of the most fabulous restaurants, estates and attractions on the island.

Eight celebrity international chefs will be coming to cook, including Ming Tsai and Marcus Samuelsson. They will be joining six Bajan chefs, along with local and visiting wine and spirits experts, to put on an epicurean feast for all the senses.

We love the website. It's both simple and beautifully designed, with gorgeous use of colour and photography and nicely integrated media. The images of the cocktails and plated dishes from last year’s event make you want to dive right into your computer screen.

With so many world-class restaurants and chefs, and its own Zagat guide, Barbados has aspirations of becoming the culinary capital of the Caribbean. And, of course, it is the very birthplace of rum, which has been made in Barbados for 350 years.

Cheers to the Barbados Tourism Authority for building such a great website (unfortunately, there's no web designer credit shown on the site, so we can’t give them their props).

If you love good food and drink (who doesn’t?), then the third week in November in Barbados will definitely be the place to be.

Food, wine and rum. Eat, drink and be merry.
