St. Croix Foundation

About The St. Croix Foundation

The St. Croix Food & Wine Experience showcases the diverse cuisine and wine available on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. The multi-day event includes gourmet dinners, wine seminars, wine auctions, and the annual culinary competition, A Taste of St. Croix.

The event benefits the St. Croix Foundation, a non-profit community foundation that administers a number of local programs. The event was started in 2001 by restaurant owners Katherine Pugliese, original owner of Bacchus and now an on-premise wine consultant with Premier Wines & Spirits, and Kelly Odom of Tutto Bene, and is recognized as the pre-eminent food and wine event in the Caribbean.

Proceeds from The St. Croix Food & Wine Experience are donated to The St. Croix Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on community revitalization, economic development, youth programs, education and additional needs in the community. The culinary event has raised more than $300,000 for The St. Croix Foundation over the past seven years.
