As autumn unfolds, some of the most exclusive and inspiring food and wine gatherings are set to take place across the globe, ranging from European getaways in London and Portugal to stateside affairs across the USA.

From gourmet, multi-course dinners in West Palm Beach and Montana-based, live cooking demos by celebrity chefs to luxurious multi-day festivals in the heart of Charleston, these exquisite experiences offer the perfect blend of culinary artistry, fine wine, and unforgettable destinations.

From October 24–26, Octant Douro hosts Portugal’s first-ever Octant Festival, a celebration of the Douro Valley’s flavors, people, and culture. Curated by Octant Hotels, the weekend brings Michelin-starred Chef Dárcio Henriques together with award-winning guest chefs, artists, and local producers for a dynamic program of dining and entertainment. With sunset concerts, a 4-Hands Dinner, DJ parties, and vineyard-inspired experiences, the festival immerses guests in the soul of this iconic wine region with informal luxury and extraordinary gastronomy.
