After a three-year hiatus forced by COVID-19 related restrictions,\u00a0Valle Food & Wine Festival<\/a>\u00a0is thrilled to announce the<\/p>\n to take place at the marquee Valle de Guadalupe location, BRUMA, on October 22 and 23, 2022.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The festival was born in the summer of 2017 by a group of bi-national friends as a way to celebrate the unique Mexican wine region; support the local community through charitable contributions; and invite food and wine lovers to experience the food, wine, art, and culture of the region that many are calling the most exciting wine travel destination in the west.<\/p>\n To comply with the wishes of local winemakers, chefs, and farmers, committed to preserving the region\u2019s natural beauty by discouraging large events, the number of tickets for VFWF 2022 is limited. This means fewer crowds, no lines and more curated experiences.<\/p>\n To accommodate more attendees, there will be two days of Valle Food & Wine Festival:<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday, October 22<\/strong> (4:00 pm to 11:00pm) and Sunday, October 23<\/strong> (noon to 6:30 pm). Each day features approximately 25 chefs, 20 winemakers from the United States, Tijuana, Ensenada, Valle de Guadalupe and Tecate.<\/p>\n In addition to the food, guests will have the opportunity to taste craft brews, artisan cocktails, art, live music, and more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tickets for each day are sold separately and the lineups of chefs, winemakers, and music are exclusive to each day. (Weekend and VIP tickets will also be available.)<\/p>\n The mix of\u00a0top chefs for 2022 reaches from Mexico City to New Orleans and gathers for one spirited weekend to promote and celebrate the bounty of the region,\u00a0and the cuisine and wines of Baja California,\u00a0now receiving world-wide recognition.<\/p>\n Chefs prepare dishes using local ingredients (nearby Ensenada is known for having some of the best seafood in all of Mexico), inspired by regional or Mexican dishes, such as ceviche and the area\u2019s most famous export: fish tacos.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s lineup includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n Nancy Silverton (the Mozza Group, Los Angeles), Aar\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez (Johnny S\u00e1nchez, New Orleans), Rick Bayless (Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, Chicago), David Castro Hussong (Fauna, Valle de Guadalupe), Gabriela C\u00e1mara, (Contramar in Mexico City), Neal Fraser (Redbird, Los Angeles), Valerie Gordon, (Valerie Confections, Los Angeles), Burt Bakman (Slab, Los Angeles), Ori Menashe (Bavel and Bestia, Los Angeles), Frank Ostini, and (The Hitching Post 2, Buellton, California), and more.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/em>I do a lot of festivals and the festival in the Valle is more special than any of them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Nancy Silverton<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The passion\u00a0of\u00a0its\u00a0founders made the Valle Food\u00a0& Wine Festival\u2018s first three years an enormous success.
