The dream continues…
If thirteen is thought of as unlucky, think twice. Or thirteen times, if you will, as the International Gourmet Festival of Vallarta Mexico celebrates thirteen years in 2007. We welcome you with open arms and the well-set tables that characterize Vallarta not only all over Mexico but throughout the world. Our gift during this weeklong epicurean feast is to serve you the way only we know how.
From November 8 to 18, twenty-four of our premium restaurants open their doors to invited chefs from around the world to inveigle you with taste-tempting dishes that go right to your heart by way of the stomach. But that’s not before passing your palate. Where every bite will be relished. Savored. With a passion.
It’s that same passion that gives this international festival the energy to not only continue with each passing year but to grow, evolve and improve. This year we’re better than ever with a special focus on quality that will be reflected in the freshest products to produce the best dishes, the most caring hands to create them and the touch of elegance in serving them at your table.
For those who are familiar with the annual gourmet event, expect the same spectacular events: the inauguration cocktail to introduce the visiting chefs, the fantastic Sunday brunch with traditional mariachi and the final gala event topped off with fireworks that light up the night sky. During the week, attend cooking classes, learn about wine pairing, taste the newest and best in both wines and tequila, and, of course, dine out in the finest restaurants each with the special festival menu, many with the classic chef’s table.
Do your palate a favor and spend time dining with us this year. All during the Gourmet Festival and the year beyond. You won’t regret it. In fact, you’ll never forget it.
