If you are looking to try some of Austin’s best restaurants, look no further. The La Dolce Vita Food and Wine Festival, taking place on October 15, 2015 from 7–10 PM at The Contemporary Austin, will feature a combination of over 50 food, wine, coffee and dessert establishments. Attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite bites as well as their favorite wines. Last year VOX Table took home the prize for best bite, but with all the great restaurants in store for this year it will be difficult to hold on to the title.
This spectacular event donates all proceeds to educational programs that The Contemporary Austin offers to school children, teens, families and adults. Each year these programs serve thousands of children and adults.
In addition to great food and drinks, there will be live art demonstrations and musical performances by DJ Gatsby throughout the night. Tickets to the event are still on sale, but going fast. For a $200 ticket price, La Dolce Vita guests will be able to sample creations from some of Austin’s most renowned restaurants. Attendees can also upgrade to a premium $250 ticket which includes access to the exclusive Cocktail Lounge. Check out the full list of restaurants, wineries, breweries and cocktail information listed below.
