Big Sur Food and Wine Festival

About the Event

The Big Sur Food and Wine Festival started as a way to showcase the many culinary, wine-making and cultural talents of this special stretch of California coast.

Schedule of Events:

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Bubbles and Brushes

Nestled beneath the majestic redwoods, our friends at Big Sur Lodge partner with us to invite you to a unique brunch experience.  Savor exquisite dishes from their in-house Chef’s menu, perfectly paired with featured hand selected wines. Let your taste buds dance amidst nature’s grandeur. All levels of artists are welcome, as you never know what latent talents will emerge. A local Big Sur Artist will lead the class, with all supplies provided for your creative expression. Join us—it’s more than brunch; it’s an immersive fusion of flavors and artistry!

11:00 AM - 2:00 PM: Live Auction for Big Sur

Get ready to paddle your way into philanthropy! Our weekend’s grandest fundraiser and the heart and soul of this festival—the Live Auction for Big Sur—is here.  A treasure trove of offerings awaits. From intimate dinners to music tickets, unique travel experiences, wine, lodgings, and captivating art, there’s something for everyone. Bid generously to support our community and beneficiaries. As the auction unfolds, Chef Anthony Kreske provides stellar bites and our Somms pour tasty libations. It’s a lively, fast-paced gathering where generosity meets excitement.
