Food & Wine Festival - Palm Desert™ 2013
The Food & Wine Festival - Palm Desert will gather the brightest and most inspired chefs from California for three extraordinary days of culinary and wine tasting under The Big White Tent on Larkspur between El Paseo and Shadow Mountain in Palm Desert, CA. This event will be uniquely educational in focus, showcasing the Coachella Valley as a culinary destination.
On Friday, March 22 enjoy a sit down 4-course gourmet luncheon paired with wonderful wines and hosted by celebrity chefs. Both Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24 attendees will walk through and experience Fine Dining at its best from over 45 of the top award winning restaurants and their accompanying chefs from throughout California.
Another unique aspect of the festival is that each restaurant has provided their menu in advance so that our team of experts can specifically pair their cuisine with a particular varietal or brand that most compliments the food they are serving. Each attendee's palate will take a euphoric journey through the festival space as each winery will be placed adjacent to the restaurant it is paired with for maximum culinary impact.
This Festival is the only one of its kind on the West Coast because it benefits the premiere culinary school in the United States, the Culinary Institute of America’s Endowed Scholarship Fund. The Culinary Institute of America is the recognized leader in culinary education for undergraduate students, food service and hospitality professional, and food enthusiasts. The college awards bachelor’s and associate degrees, as well as certificates and continuing education units.
