The 2025 WSRE Wine and Food Classic is SOLD OUT. "Thank you" for supporting this event and WSRE PBS! 

This year, we’re letting the good times roll by transforming the Jean & Paul Amos Performance Studio into a vibrant French Quarter street scene spiced with Creole seasoning and Vieux Carré culture!

The marquee Walkabout Tasting  — an annual celebration of regional flavors and a showcase of local chefs and cuisine — will feature local chefs and the Crescent City sounds of the Corey Ledet Zydeco band! Sip and sample Creole-inspired cuisine and vote for your favorite dish. 

Come pass a good time New Orleans style at the “Ça C'est Bon!” WSRE Wine & Food Classic on March 29. Laissez les bons temps rouler! 

The VIP Package, including the pre-walkabout Crescent City Soirée, is SOLD OUT. VIP guests will enjoy a cooking demo from New Orleans celebrity chef John Besh and elevated hors d'oeuvres from local top chefs Darian Hernandez (Brother Fox), Irv Miller (Jackson’s Steakhouse) and Gus Silivos (Agapi Bistro + Garden). Then follow the 9th Avenue Brass Band in a second line parade to the Walkabout Tasting! 

Thank you, event chairs: Louise & Dr. Brent Videau!
