Bern’s Steak House will host the 29th annual Bern’s Winefest from April 12 through April 19, with nine events across its Tampa properties.
The festival, presented by the Laxer Family Foundation, spans Bern’s Steak House, Haven and the Epicurean Hotel. Tickets go on sale March 7 at 10 a.m. through Eventbrite, with limited seating across most events.
Event pricing ranges from $300 for the blending seminar and picnic to $1,500 per person for the Legacy Dinner, held inside Bern’s wine cellar.
Winefest opens April 12 with a Pol Roger Champagne brunch at the Epicurean Hotel and continues with wine dinners featuring Vérité Estate, Château Quintus and Domaine Tollot-Beaut. Haven will host several midweek events, including a Brunello-focused dinner with Altesino.
The April 19 Grand Tasting will close the festival with a tasting event featuring wines curated by Bern’s Fine Wines & Spirits, paired with food from the three culinary teams and live music.
Winefest serves as the primary fundraiser for the Bern Laxer Memorial Scholarship, which supports students in culinary arts, hospitality management and viticulture through the C-CAP program. Since 1997, the event has funded scholarships tied to Florida’s hospitality workforce.
To accommodate the event schedule, Haven will close to regular service from April 16 through April 21.
Tickets went on sale March 13.
