TESTIMONIALS
“The Saturday and Sunday Grand Tastings
were both superb with excellent food and
plentiful wine while not being too crowded.
The Sunday Jazz Brunch by Meg Bickford
was also fun and the food was wonderful.”
– Charles (Flagsta , AZ)
“I love the fact that you pay a set price
and can go to the event without any
additional cost. We were able to taste
anything we wanted freely. So nice!
The whole event was very well done.”
– Caroline (Beaverton, OR)
“I went with two girlfriends from out of
town and we had the best time. Food
was absolutely amazing. We added more
restaurants to our ‘go to’ list. The tastings
were very informative. We found new wines
we otherwise wouldn’t have tried, learned
about wineries in the area to try for another
girls weekend. The crowd and vendors were
very friendly and added to the excitement.
Can’t wait for next year.”
– Tracey (Mashpee, MA)
“Loved the chefs chosen for this year.”
– Constance (Palm Springs, CA)
“The date farm tour was well organized,
comfortable, fascinating, led by amazing
farm families (the Kecks and the Aziz Farm
couple), entertaining , educational, and it
included a fantastic lunch out on the farm.
We enjoyed every minute. We hope to do it
again and more similar events. Five Stars.”
– Marilynn (Palm Desert, CA)
“I have attended the Taste of Washington
for more than a decade, and must admit
this event outshined it in all categories! The
o ering of food was the nicest surprise,
the caliber and quantity and exceptional
preparation really raised the bar.”
– Sally (Seattle, WA)
“I live in Northern California and I plan
to come back next year with a
group of friends so that we can enjoy
all aspects of the events.”
– Debra (Walnut Creek, CA)
“Well organized. Line to enter moved
quickly, tastings were spread apart and
many to choose from, cooking demos had
plenty of seating.”
– Martine (Seattle, WA)
“The venue (The Fletcher House) was
spectacular and the perfect setting
for the Celebrity Chef Reception.
Being in the industry, I was able to see
many of the San Francisco chefs that
I’ve known over the years...”
– Tracey (Rancho Mirage, CA)
“Afrim Pristine event was great. The setting
was very good and his passion for cheese
was sensational and very entertaining. The
cheese and wine tastings were also very
good. The Sunday Grand Tastings was over
the top. Everything we tasted was excellent.
The vendor representatives were friendly
and more than happy to discuss their wines
and food. We loved it.”
– Frank (Rancho Mirage, CA)
“The Sunday Brunch was fantastic. Food
was phenomenal. Sunday Grand Tasting was
a great experience as well.”
– Susan (Orange County, CA)
“We loved everything about the event.
The fast check-in, the food, the wine, the
booths, the vendors. Everything!”
– Gina (La Quinta, CA)
