The Region’s Top Restaurants and Winemakers Will Be Serving at Philadelphia Magazine’s Wine and Dine Event

Philadelphia magazine is bringing back its annual Wine and Dine event—an all-star celebration of food, wine, and the city’s top culinary talent—on Thursday, February 19th.

Held inside the Kimmel Center, Wine and Dine merges two of Philly Mag’s most beloved events—its Wine Festival and Foobooz’ Philly Cooks—into one evening. From 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., general admission guests will sip and snack their way through dishes from dozens of the city’s most celebrated restaurants while sampling premium wines from top regional, national, and international producers.

Curated by Philadelphia magazine editor Christy Lejeune and Food Editor Kae Lani Palmisano, the event spotlights restaurants hand-selected from the magazine’s 50 Best Restaurants list alongside recent Best of Philly winners. With more than 500 guests expected, the night promises a vibrant mix of buzzy bites, flowing pours, and live entertainment set against the iconic architecture of the Kimmel Center.

For those looking to elevate the experience, VIP ticket holders gain early entry at 5:00 p.m. and access to an exclusive lounge featuring rare wine tastings, premium samplings, and an intimate chef-driven tasting experience. VIP perks also include complimentary valet parking and the chance to be among the first to sample dishes before the main crowd arrives.

The restaurant lineup reads like a who’s who of Philly dining, with participants including South Philly Barbacoa/Casa Mexico, Forsythia, Via Locusta, Sang Kee Peking Duck House, The Prime Rib at Live! Casino Philadelphia, Midnight Pasta by Natalia, Korea Taqueria, Bolo, Little Walter’s, White Yak, and many more. On the wine side, guests can expect pours from producers and importers such as Wente Vineyards, Chaddsford Winery, Campari, Constellation Brands, Pennsylvania Libations, and Vineyard Brands, with additional participants still being added.

Live entertainment from BVT Live and On It Productions, plus product giveaways throughout the night, keep the energy high as guests roam the venue. When the tasting wraps, the party continues just across Broad Street at Attico Rooftop, which will host an official after-party for attendees.
