The sixth annual eating, drinking, and carousing extravaganza that is ~PEBBLE BEACH FOOD & WINE~ will take place this year April 4th-7th, 2013. Now is a great time to snag tickets to events you don’t want to miss, from the opening evening reception to the weekend of tasting tent action.
Many big-name chefs, including Daniel Boulud, Grant Achatz, Dominique Crenn, Pierre Gagnaire, and Tyler Florence will participate, with cooking demonstrations, special dinners and lunches, and lots of one-of-a-kind wine tastings (bring on the verticals!).
There will also be a special Battle of the Coasts pair of dinners, with East Coast chefs cooking one evening and West Coast chefs the next, for proper comparison. Many of them are available individually, starting at $100, or you can purchase a package deal at varying levels, starting at $995.
