THE BIG SUR FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL

In early 2009, a small group of friends came together with a vision to promote Big Sur
as a culinary destination, and raise funds for the community's three essential services:
Health, Education, and Safety. In its first year, the Big Sur Food and Wine Festival
helped raise nearly $20,000 for the Big Sur community.

Join us this year at the Highlands Inn Park Hyatt for a stunning opening evening –
Gateway To Big Sur on Thursday November 4th. The weekend follows with many more
meals and events, such as the popular Hiking With Stemware at unique Big Sur properties.
Because of our state's propensity for producing sublime Pinot Noirs, we are introducing
the Pinot Walk-About at the Restaurant at Ventana on Friday afternoon, featuring 20+
of our very favorite Pinot-producing friends.

Of course our Dinner With Friends on Saturday night at the Restaurant at Ventana will
feature top wines and the culinary talents of Chef Truman Jones of Ventana, Arturo Moscoso of Peppoli at Pebble Beach and our dear friend from the Central Coast Wine Classic, Frank Ostini of the famed Hitching Post.

See you in November!
