Cabo San Lucas with Gusto: The Cabo Wine & Food Festival

It’s an annual gathering the likes of which gourmands and foodies have yet to see in this part of the world — a celebration of cuisine, spirits, ingenuity and zest for life that can only take place here. The Cabo Wine & Food Fest brings together experts and amateurs to not just enjoy the festivities but also inspire a higher appreciation for the culinary arts. The festival is hosted by Pueblo Bonito Oceanfront Resorts & Spas (which include Pueblo Bonito Pacífica Holistic Retreat & Spa, Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa, Pueblo Bonito Rosé Resort & Spa, and Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos Resort, plus two other properties in Mazatlán and one in Puerto Vallarta).

Visitors can rub elbows with some of the region’s most established chefs, including Pueblo Bonito Sunset’s own Chef Antonio de Livier from LaFrida and other multiple award winners; participate in wine and tequila tastings; sign up for cooking classes and sushi lessons; attend seminars and workshops; and revel in live music, Winemaker’s Dinners and other exclusive dining events designed especially for this event. Learn the art of cigar rolling, find out about different types of beer, sample sake as you dish out sushi and the sea and desert unfold before you. It’s not all about learning, of course — the Cabo Wine & Food Fest is also the time to enjoy some of the best soirees of the year, with gastronomic surprises for every palate.

All this comes with the service and attention to detail that have made Pueblo Bonito’s properties such a lauded brand and so tailor-made for this type of festival: Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach has a Cigar Bar with an extensive martini menu, while Pueblo Bonito Pacífica features a fire pit that is a popular gathering point after dinner at Siempre Restaurant. Be sure to stop by all the resorts to sample their own style of hospitality.

There are several packages available for resort guests and even for those who are not. For upcoming dates and additional information, visit www.cabowineandfoodfest.com.
