New flavors, new views, and a new home base—this year’s Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival is going full refresh mode. From October 15–19, 2025, the city’s premier culinary celebration lands in NYC’s historic Seaport, with Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten stepping in as Culinary Host. Think curated chef collabs, intimate dinners, and once-in-a-lifetime bites at the Tin Building by Jean-Georges—basically, your dream food weekend.

Celebrating its 18th year, the festival is dialing up the local flavor with an all-new location, a more intimate vibe, and some serious culinary star power. Longtime partner Food Network is back in the mix, but this year also introduces new collaborators: Event Zero Foundation (now the host and a beneficiary, focused on sustainable event practices) and the James Beard Foundation®, continuing its mission to build a more equitable and delicious future for the restaurant industry.

Add in the waterfront backdrop, an elevated Grand Tasting, next-gen food experiences, and production by event powerhouse a21, and you’ve got all the makings of a reinvigorated NYCWFF.

Tickets drop July 9 at nycwff.org—mark your calendars and start planning your dream dining lineup now.
