Sacramento Hotels Farm-to-Fork Showcase: Challenge of the Chefs

Savory Tastings, Craft Beer, Local Wine and Hard Kombucha

Thanks to talented hotel chefs, an explosion of local breweries, and a thriving local wine region, Sacramento delivers on all three.

At the Sacramento Hotels Farm-to-Fork Showcase: Challenge of the Chefs, discover how Sacramento’s hotels and their restaurants are serving some of the freshest and most beautiful bounty the Valley has to offer. Explore the region’s delectable offerings alongside local hotel chefs, winemakers and craft brewers.

Along with the savory (and sweet) tastings and libations, we’ll celebrate a friendly competition among the hotel chefs and their culinary teams as they bring their best to the showcase. See who takes home this year’s awards for Top Savory, Top Sweet and Top Plated.
