We admire those who focus on healthy diets, who limit their calories and who never imbibe. But there’s a time and place for everything, and frankly, New Orleans in May, just isn’t the place for such restraint. Instead, it is the time to indulge—okay, think of it as exercise for your tastebuds—during the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience.

Even in a city known worldwide for its cuisine, this five-day festival is a standout. Dozens of local chefs participate, spotlighting Louisiana’s indigenous ingredients. Visiting chefs and top-notch winemakers join them, and together they host a variety of seminars, cooking demonstrations and food and wine tastings.

Seminars and Grand Tastings take place on Friday and Saturday. Come hungry to the New Orleans Convention Center for the Grand Tastings; Saturday’s event also includes a Louisiana Seafood Cook-Off.
