Southern Smoke Festival
Save the date for SSF25! We will be back at Discovery Green on October 4, 2025 with more great food, drinks and music to take care of our own. Thank you to everyone who cooked, poured, and attended in 2024. We couldn’t do what we do without you.
Southern Smoke Decanted 2025
We raised an incredible $1.2 million at Southern Smoke Decanted 2025! We ate, we drank, we raised our paddles—and most importantly, we showed up for the food and beverage industry in a big way.
Mark your calendars: Southern Smoke Decanted 2026 is set for March 28 at our stunning new home, Lott Hall in Hermann Park. We can’t wait to do it all over again! Cheers! 🥂
Respect the Rosé 2025
Our favorite theme party is back… way back-we’re heading to the ’80s on May 17 for an Under the Sea Prom bash benefitting Southern Smoke Foundation. Featuring a collaborative dinner by chefs Andy Ticer, Michael Hudman, Stephen Stryjewski, Chris Shepherd, Ryan Prewitt, and Brennan’s of Houston; a selection of rosés and other wines from our favorite producers; AND all the ’80s prom nostalgia!
