Dallas Arboretum Food & Wine Festival – March 16: A Premier International Culinary Experience

Experience an unforgettable evening featuring 48 world‑class chefs and a menu of endless culinary creations—discover why the Arboretum’s inaugural international festival is a must‑attend.

The event showcases five distinct culinary regions—American Bistro, Mediterranean, Pan‑Asian, South American, and more—each offering signature dishes. Pair your palate with fine wines or craft beers as the sun sets over White Rock Lake.

Featured local chefs—including award‑winning talents such as Eric Dreyer (Fearings), Josh Harmon (Kitchen LTO), and Katherine Clapner (Dude Sweet Chocolate)—will showcase their signature dishes. View the complete roster of culinary stars here.

Reserve a spot for dessert: indulge in decadent sweets and a freshly brewed coffee to conclude your tasting experience. After dinner, enjoy a live concert on the lawn. Mark your calendar for March 16—tickets are selling fast.

Set against the backdrop of the annual Dallas Blooms, the festival will unfold amid 500,000 vibrant spring bulbs that transform the Arboretum into a kaleidoscope of color. Southern Living Magazine recently named Dallas Blooms “one of the best spots on this side of Holland to see beautiful flowers.” This year’s theme, “Flower Power,” celebrates the 1960s with playful, nostalgic touches throughout the gardens.
