Boca Bacchanal Grand Tasting, the premier community food and wine event in Boca Raton, returns on Sunday, April 6th, 2025.
This is one of my all-time favorite events of the year — I’ve attended the Grand Tasting event almost every year since 2012!
The festivities will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Addison, a historic, five-star Palm Beach County event venue known for its stunning architecture, award-winning cuisine, and elegant outdoor courtyards.
Do you know the origin of the word “Bacchanal”? It references Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, revelry, and festivity. The word originally referred to wild, wine-fueled celebrations in ancient Rome that were filled with music, dancing, and indulgence.
Today, the term “Bacchanal” is used to describe a lively, extravagant party with great food, drink, and merriment. It’s an incredibly fitting name for Boca Bacchanal!
Event-goers will sip, savor, and celebrate the day away — all while supporting the heritage education and historic preservation programs of the Boca Raton Historical Society and the Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum.
This is a very popular event for Boca Raton residents, but if you are coming from Orlando, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura, or Miami, hop on the Brightline! The Brightline Boca station is just a few minutes away from The Addison.
