Overview
The Boca Raton Historical Society has a tasty message for food and wine lovers: It’s time to revel! A weekend of great wine matched with delectable culinary delights featuring acclaimed chefs and prized vintners will tempt the savvy palates of patrons at the seventh annual Boca Bacchanal. Sip, savor and bid through special events (Young Friends Take it to the Maxx! and Raise Your Glass!) and the world-class weekend of vintner dinners, The Bacchanal & Auction and The Grand Tasting.
Since its inception, Boca Bacchanal has attracted scores of top chefs and hundreds of prized vintners from the United States and Europe. Wine Spectator has named Boca Bacchanal one of America’s top 20 winefests, and we are proud to have been profiled in national epicurean, lifestyle and trade publications.
