In Summary

In 2023 The Big Sur Food & Wine Foundation held their three flagship events: The Big Sur Food & Wine Festival, The Big Sur Fashion Show and The Ferrari Event at The Barnyard. In addition the committee helped produce two pop-up dinners in the spring with world-renowned German winemakers.

With the growing number of sponsors, auction donors, participating chefs & winemakers and volunteers each year, we have partnered with passionate individuals who truly care about this community.

The Foundation has become one of the strongest supporters of the Palo Colorado, Big Sur and South Coast communities, and continues its commitment to its own sustainability as an all-volunteer organization. 

Thank you to everyone who makes this possible.
