2025 Winners of Savour’s Best of Show!

The 2025 Savour Food & Wine Show, hosted by the Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia (RANS), as part of the Savour Food & Wine Festival celebrated its 21st show last night with an incredible evening of food and drink at the Halifax Convention Centre.

The Savour Food & Wine Show encourages locals, visitors and foodies alike to celebrate the culinary scene in Nova Scotia.  With over 75 exhibitors this year, the Halifax Convention Centre was buzzing with excitement as booths showcased some of the best of Nova Scotia’s taste sensations. The event included a VIP reception, live music by Mike Cowie, and sparkling wine poured by Serpentine aerialists. Ronald McDonald House joined us this year to manage the coat check with the proceeds being donated to support their meals for families and new house opening up this spring.

As part of the Savour Show 2025, we had a VIP Reception to show our thanks and gratitude to our leaders of government, industry decision makers, and our incredible partners who support the association and the industry here in our province.

Guests had an opportunity to cast a vote for their favorites in several categories providing results for the “Best of Show”. Congratulations to the 2025 winners! Visit our social media @savourfw to see more updates and photos.
