Haute Living certainly loves the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, and we’d like to send out a friendly reminder that if you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift, why not share some love by giving out SOBE bucks which can be used towards purchasing tickets to the festival from February 25-28, 2010.

The South Beach Wine & Food Festival is quickly approaching, and before you know it you’ll be packing up the holiday decorations and filling your stomachs with delicious wines and foods at one of Miami Beach’s most infamous festivals.

Taking place from February 25 through 28, the Food Network’s festivals is a national, star-studded, four day destination event that showcases some of the world’s most renowned winemakers, spirits producers, chefs, and culinary personalities.

A unique gift this holiday season are SOBE bucks for a foodie friend or family member that is as excited about the festival as we are, or even for first-time festival attendees who wants to make the most of the annual event. SOBE bucks are available for purchase from now until January 8, 2010, and they can be worth $250, $500, or $1,000 for use toward purchasing tickets to the festival. The best part of this gift idea (besides the numerous obvious benefits) is the fact that SOBE bucks can actually be used toward purchasing tickets to many of the sold-out events—providing access to some of the most highly-anticipated moments of the four days which might otherwise be out of reach for some. Keep in mind, however, that SOBE bucks cannot be redeemed for sold-out seated events.

Sounds like something you want to be a part of? SOBE bucks can be purchased exclusively through the festival’s ticketing manager at: (305) 627-1646, or by emailing ashapiro@southernwine.com.
