Palm Desert Food & Wine returns for a seventh year, March 24-26 at The Gardens on El Paseo in Palm Desert, Calif.

The last few weeks of winter have a slew of travel-worthy food and beverage festivals in store, from Charleston, S.C. and New Orleans to California and Mexico. Food and beverage enthusiasts across the country have opportunities to pair microbrews with fly fishing in Texas, meet celebrity chefs in Palm Desert, Calif., dine on a catamaran in Cancun, or sip whiskies from around the world in Washington, D.C. Devote an entire day to bacon in Chicago or desserts in New York.

Browse the gallery above to plan a fun and flavorful weekend with the food and beverage festivals filling the calendar next month. Or see below to try a new restaurant near you.
