During the 2026 South Beach Food & Wine Festival, The Shelborne By Proper hosted a series of gatherings that brought together chefs, creatives, and notable guests throughout the weekend. One highlight was an intimate celebration hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka in the property’s hidden lounge, Little Torch, to honor their cocktail book, Both Sides of the Glass. Guests mingled with the hosts, sipping signature drinks and engaging in conversation in a relaxed setting that reflected the festival’s blend of food, hospitality, and culture. The evening formed part of a broader lineup of culinary events and social gatherings that made the hotel a lively hub during the festival weekend.
