FOOD & WINE - Calling all food and wine lovers. Join us in 2025 for a spectacular culinary experience with a roster of the nation’s top chefs.
We return on March 20–23, 2025 with a four-day experience that will feature a diverse selection of mouth-watering eats, premium wines, hands-on cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs, and much more.
Produced by Palm Springs Life magazine and located in the stunning tree-lined El Paseo shopping district in Palm Desert, California, this annual gastronomic event is the most celebrated cuisine and beverage festival in Greater Palm Springs and will feature a roster of the nation’s top chefs, vintners, and brewmasters.
The fête begins with a James Beard Gourmet Four-Course Luncheon prepared by culinary virtuosos and will be followed by two days of grand tastings, where you can delight in delectable offerings from local and regional restaurants, sample more than 60 wines, enjoy unique craft brews, IPAs, and draught ciders, or taste and savor assorted spirit brands.
