The Upcoming Fabulous Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2015

As a West Coast California girl one of the things I get most excited about is my close proximity to Wine Country and San Francisco’s fabulous Dining scene. If you read my blog, or follow me on social media you know, I frequent Wine Country as often as possible! I am also an avid foodie. I’m typically out exploring a hot new restaurant or returning to some of my favorite go to destinations.  So, after hearing about Pebble Beach Food & Wine for many many years and always being curious and interested in attending, I am beyond thrilled to be attending as press this year.

Although I’m a newbie to Pebble Beach Food & Wine this will not be my first Food & Wine Festival. Lindsay, aka The Lunch Belle and I attended South Beach Food & Wine (SoBe) a few times during our East Coast New York days. I have heard that Pebble Beach Food & Wine is similar to SoBe with amazing Restaurants, Chefs, & Wineries participating. For a Foodie & Wine lover, this is PERFECT!

I hope you’ll follow my experience at Pebble Beach next week, Thursday April 9th – Sunday April 12th. I’ll be sharing pictures and fun on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with post event coverage on the blog. Thanks for joining in on the fun!

You’ll find pictures below highlighting some of the events I’ll be attending and some Chefs & Culinary legends I’m dying to meet and learn from.
