“Every year the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival brings together a diverse community, top culinary talent, and some of the best wine and spirit brands to help raise money for an important cause.” remarks Patrick Cassidy, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits of Florida. “Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits is committed to supporting local communities through these types of exciting events where we can give back and make a difference, while also enabling more consumers to experience our great brands. We are proud to support this year’s festival and the mission of its host, the American Lung Association.”

“The American Lung Association is honored to share this memorable experience with our community. Proceeds from the Festival allow us to fund life-saving research, provide community-based support programs for those living with lung disease, and advances much-needed advocacy efforts to ensure clean air for all,” shares Hernan Milan, Immediate Past Chair of the Local Leadership Board for the American Lung Association and Vice President Business Banking Relationship Manager for Amerant Bank.

The Knockturnal: Tell us about The 27th Annual Las Olas Wine and Food Festival.

  • The 27th Annual Las Olas Wine and Food Festival annually celebrates the incredible restaurant community of Greater Fort Lauderdale with a one-night event, Friday April 21 from 7:30 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. on the iconic Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

  • There are five blocks of sampling stations featuring 40 of South Florida’s finest restaurants and more than 150 domestic and international wineries so guests can sip, sample, and enjoy, thanks to sponsors like Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits.
  • The evening brings together the best of the area and is hosted by and benefits the American Lung Association.
  • Live music, DJs, dancing and incredible interactive experiences will electrify the boulevard.

The Knockturnal: What if I want to come early and have that “premier” experience?

The Knockturnal: What will be new at the festival this year?

Southern Glazer is pleased to share a sneak peak of a few brands that will be featured on the boulevard this year including:

  • High West – While enjoying an ‘old fashioned’ and live music, guests will be transported to Park City, Utah, hometown of High West Distillery, and experience a simulation ‘run’ down the mountain.
  • Casamigos – One of the fastest growing tequila brands in the U.S., Casamigos will bring on the flair with a DJ dance party and tequila cocktails celebrating the 27th year of Fort Lauderdale’s largest wine and food festival.
  • Tito’s Handmade Vodka – Tito’s Handmade Vodka invites guests to enjoy a taste of Texas, swag, and a ‘Make Your Own Seltzer’ bar
  • Gray Whale Gin – Guests stopping by this tasting pavilion will be sampling Gray Whale Gin cocktails and experience six California botanicals including – juniper, mint, lime, fir tree, kombu, and almonds.

The Knockturnal: Tell us about the American Lung Association.

  •               The American Lung Association is a non-profit organization whose mission is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. 
  •               100% of the money raised from the festival funds the American Lung Association’s efforts to end all lung disease, including lung cancer and COVID-19, through life-saving research, education and advocacy.
  •               Over 115 years ago, the organization pioneered the model of using education, advocacy and research to virtually eradicate tuberculosis in the U.S. Tell us about the American Lung Association and it works? 

The Knockturnal: Why is it so important to support the American Lung Association?

  • 2.5 million residents of Florida have chronic lung disease which includes adults ever diagnosed with COPD or currently with asthma, plus children currently with asthma.
  • Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, yet awareness about lung cancer remains low and the lifesaving potential of lung cancer screening remains underutilized.
  • Florida ranks 40th among all states in lung cancer screening rates, with only 3.4 percent of those at high risk being screened.
  • Early screening is key to increasing the lung cancer survival rates.
  • Here in Florida, it is estimated that 19,560 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022 and 10,440 will die from the disease.
