Win the ultimate foodie getaway to Miami with airfare and luxury lodging courtesy of Heineken (ENDED)

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!

Do you love food? Love to travel? Yeah, we thought you’d say yes. We’re so stoked about this prize that we’re already so jealous of the winner – it’s that big.

Heineken is sending one lucky winner and a guest on an all-expenses-paid trip to Miami this February so you can soak up some sun and eat your fill of great food at the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

The winner will get airfare (up to $750 per ticket), $500 in spending money and 3 nights at the LOEWS Miami Beach Hotel for February 21-24, 2019.

While you’re there, they’re hooking you up with 2 VIP tickets to the Heineken Light Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons® hosted by David Burtka & Neil Patrick Harris on Friday, February 22 and 2 tickets to the Goya Foods’ Grand Tasting Village featuring Mastercard Grand Tasting Tents & Culinary Demonstrations on Saturday, February 23.

These star-studded events (think Neil Patrick Harris, Al Roker and David Burtka) are part of the South Beach Wine & Food Festival®, a weekend-long gourmet gathering on the beach with 100% of its net proceeds benefiting the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Florida International University, and is also sponsored in part by Heineken.

The two events will involve sampling burgers and other curated foods from around the world and various neighborhoods of Miami, plus live culinary demonstrations from your favorite Food Network and Cooking Channel personalities, contests and more. Oh, and there will be no shortage of Heineken Light to go around both days.

See official rules and contest details below. This promotion is for participants age 21+.
