The five-night, dinner-only culinary experience is the third event in the annual BVI Food Fete series and will officially launch on October 16, 2026, during the Village Cay Food, Wine & Rum Festival.

According to a press release from the BVI Tourist Board & Film Commission (BVITBFC), the collaborative launch will feature introductions to participating restaurants, a cocktail happy hour, sit-down dining, light entertainment and an opportunity for guests to make early reservations for Restaurant Week.

“Our aim this year is to deliver a high-quality dining experience featuring a premium selection of restaurants. Visitors and residents are invited to enjoy these unique culinary experiences during our ‘Unrushed Season’, when many of our restaurants will have recently reopened,” said Clive L. McCoy, Director of Tourism of the Virgin Islands.

“This also provides participating restaurants with an opportunity to showcase their culinary offerings and give guests a preview of what they can look forward to during the 2026/2027 season. We are pleased to support an established culinary event such as the Village Cay Food, Wine & Rum Festival (www.villagecaybvi.com/food-wine-rum-festival) and collaborate on a launch that will build excitement for BVI Restaurant Week as the next major culinary experience on the local events calendar,” he added.
