Mark loves terrific food. Mark loves great wine. And, oh, does Mark ever love to party! So in 2009, it wasn’t surprising that Mark Certonio, lover of all fine things, co-founded the Key West Food & Wine Festival.

Now in it’s 10th year, it’s one of the hottest tickets in town and will be taking Key West by storm on Weds., January 23 through Sun., January 27.

As Event Director for Dolce Events & Marketing, Mark Certonio, who has years of international experience in the hospitality business, likes having – pardon the pun –
a full plate.

Given the Keys reputation for fresh boat-to-table seafood and the all-star chefs who take it to new heights, it’s no wonder that culinary events like the Key West Food & Wine Festival draw thousands of foodies from around the country to our tiny island chain.

Mark believes that the magic lies not only in the fabulous food and wonderful chefs, but in the place itself: a tropical paradise where you can enjoy fine dining in a decidedly
unstuffy atmosphere.

Well said, lover boy – now let’s get the party started!
