Win a $7,000 New York City Food & Wine Getaway for Two
Deadline: October 2, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET.
New York is already one of the greatest eating cities on Earth.
Now imagine showing up when hundreds of chefs, winemakers, mixologists and Food Network personalities have descended on Manhattan for one enormous four-day feast.

That’s the New York City Wine & Food Festival.

And one winner gets flown there with a guest to experience it.
Eat Your Way Through New York
The festival takes over New York’s Seaport from October 15–18.

During the day, you can wander through the Grand Tasting, sampling dishes and drinks from restaurants, chefs and brands while celebrity chefs cook live onstage.

This year, the festival brings together 300+ chefs, culinary personalities, winemakers, mixologists and creators across dozens of events.
And your prize includes passes to all days of the Grand Tasting.
So you’re not walking into a convention hall and staring at food behind glass.
You’re eating.

Sampling.

Watching chefs cook.
Discovering restaurants you’ve never heard of.
Going back for another bite because, technically, nobody has stopped you.
Then New York Comes Alive at Night
When the Grand Tasting ends, the festival keeps going.
The prize also includes access to the festival’s Evening Signature Events.
The current 2026 lineup includes events like:
Burger Bash with Rachael Ray and Bert Kreischer.
Steak & Whiskey with Bryan and Michael Voltaggio.
New York After Dark with Kwame Onwuachi and DJ Questlove.
And the festival’s closing Cookout, with Whoopi Goldberg and a performance by Method Man.
Several of the signature events take place on the Rooftop at Pier 17, overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, East River and Manhattan skyline.
So one minute you’re eating your way through New York.
The next, you’re standing on a rooftop above the waterfront with Manhattan glowing around you.
Not a terrible way to spend a weekend.
And You’re Still in New York
The festival is only part of the trip.
You’ve also got New York City outside the gates.
Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Explore Chinatown.
Grab a slice at midnight.
Spend a morning wandering through Central Park.
Find a tiny restaurant tucked down some side street that turns out to be better than half the places you planned to visit.
Then head back to the festival and start eating again.
It would be almost irresponsible not to.
