Throughout the 20-year history of Wine & Food Week the mission has been to celebrate and recognize talented industry individuals shaping the food scene. This year Wine & Food Week announced that it will be inducting power food couple Chris Shepherd and Lindsey Brown into the Wine & Food Week Hall of Fame for their decades of culinary achievements including the formation of the Southern Smoke Foundation which Chris and Lindsey cofounded and Lindsey currently oversees. Southern Smoke has distributed more than $11.3 million directly to people in the food and beverage industry in need via the Emergency Relief Fund.

“Let’s raise our glasses to “A Gem of A Celebration”—two decades of exquisite wine and culinary delights and industry accomplishments. For 20 years, Wine & Food Week has been a beacon of flavor, camaraderie, and joie de vivre,” said Constance McDerby, Founder of Wine & Food Week. “As the vines matured and the dishes evolved, this event became more than just a gathering—it’s a timeless tradition where every sip, every bite, and every laughter-filled conversation adds to the rich tapestry of memories.  And just as a gem sparkles in the sunlight, so does Wine & Food Week illuminate our hearts. Here’s to the past, the present, and the promise of many more years of culinary brilliance,” exclaimed McDerby.
