4. Food & Wine and Rum Festival
Where: Barbados
When: 16 - 19 November 2012
Barbados intends to rev up its star-power and position itself as the culinary capital of the Caribbean this November, when the third annual Food & Wine and Rum Festival storms into town. Billed as a four-day epicurean extravaganza, and located around some of the island's most exquisite settings, the festival includes a wide variety of chef demonstrations, tasting events and seminars. New to this year's line-up is a street festival, Sizzle Street, which will give visitors the option to enjoy a wider cross-section of Bajan "street cuisine", featuring a cook-off, steel drum rhythms, and plenty of local Caribbean flavour.
