Craft Food & Wine Festival Memphis 2026

Memphis’s Craft Food & Wine Festival is built for people who consider grazing a legitimate weekend strategy. More than 35 local food makers, chefs and artisans take over the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art with small bites, wine, craft cocktails, local spirits and live entertainment. General admission runs from 5 to 7 p.m., while VIP guests enter at 4 for a champagne toast, private lounge and additional tastings. This is a 21-and-up tasting event, not a generic vendor market, and the museum setting gives the whole evening a polished edge without making it stuffy. Tickets include tastings, so arrive ready to explore and arrange the ride home before the first pour.
