Appearances at Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2013:

Opening Night Reception (Thursday)On Thursday evening, Pebble Beach Food & Wine VI officially kicks off at the magnificent Inn at Spanish Bay for a night of unbridled indulgence. The entire property will be transformed into an epicurean paradise; stroll throughout the Inn to sample decadent bites from twenty-three of the weekend's top chefs. Sip slowly from a selection of over two hundred wines showcased by top domestic and international producers. Please Note: The bulk of this event is reserved for our Weekend Package Ticket Holders; individual tickets are extremely limited.

Arietta: Wines In Harmony (Friday)Fritz Hatton is the world's foremost wine auctioneer and John Kongsgaard is one of Napa's most legendary wine growers. Founded in 1996 with wives Caren Hatton and Maggy Kongsgaard, Arietta is their four-part harmony of people and place. Modeled primarily on cabernet franc and merlot grown at the Hudson Vineyards, Arietta's reds are a New World spin on classic Right Bank blends and they are, in a word, astonishing. Join Fritz as we examine a variety of vintages lovingly shepherded by Kongsgaard and more recently by superstar winemaker Andy Erickson.

Lexus Grand Tasting Saturday (Saturday)The Lexus Grand Tasting Tent at Pebble Beach Food & Wine is the weekend's most spectacular opportunity for maximum culinary indulgence. With over 300 wines from top-notch producers from around the world to a “who's who” list of 30 top celebrity chefs, this is your chance to mingle, mix and sip with the very best in the field. As always, there will be opportunities for book signings and photo moments with many of the weekend's biggest and brightest names so buy your tickets early as this extravaganza sells out each year. Package Guests get VIP access 30 minutes early.

My Last Supper (Saturday)When the world's greatest chefs were asked in photographer Melanie Dunea's book My Last Supper to share their desires for the ultimate meal, the answers were surprising. Some wanted hot dogs and spaghetti, while others craved foie gras and black truffles. Join Melanie and chefs Masaharu Morimoto, Michelle Bernstein and Jonathan Waxman at Pebble Beach Food and Wine as they prepare their fantasy "final plates," perfectly paired with the appropriate wine and lots of it!
