The Big Sur Chanterelle Cook-Off and Festival is on!
February 24 & 25
We invite you to join us for the 2012 Big Sur Chanterelle Cook-Off and Festival on February 24 and 25 to celebrate the unique natural wonders of Big Sur, the extraordinary culinary skill of local chefs, world-class local vintners and brew masters, and the talent of local artists.
With its remarkable bounty and beauty, Big Sur is the centerpiece of the extraordinary California Central Coast. And chanterelles, unlike any other mushroom anywhere, are the epitome of Big Sur’s exquisite natural world.
This festival will be a special event for chanterelle and Syrah lovers, a community celebration honoring a tradition of protecting our natural resources, and a benefit for an important community cause.
All 12 celebrated Big Sur chefs will compete this year – and 10 of the extraordinary wine makers from our amazing Santa Lucia region – Carmel Valley to Paso Robles – will enchant you with their incredible wines and charm you with their wonderful stories. Big Sur artists, music makers and garment creators have many wonderful treats for this event.
Special lodging packages are available for Big Sur Lodge and Ventana Inn and Spa. Hiking and wine country trips are available.
