The British Virgin Islands is ramping up its food programing for 2024 with plans for a special culinary festival in Virgin Gorda next month. 

The food festival, set at the Nail Bay Sugar Works National Park, will run on Saturday, March 16. Many of the island’s top eateries will be on hand, from Coco Maya to Chez Bamboo, all serving up representative bites from their restaurants. There will also be an open wine bar. 

Taste of Virgin Gorda is an “extraordinary culinary event, where guests not only get to enjoy an evening of culinary excellence and entertainment under the stars, but also have the pleasure of contributing to the education and future of deserving students,” said Clive McCoy Director of Tourism in the British Virgin Islands. 

The event has also secured special tickets for ferries on Speedy’s out of Tortola.
