Celebrity chefs, local chefs, rising culinary stars and even students of Rancho Cielo's culinary academy strutted their talents. Wineries of famous names such as Caymus poured alongside the wineries of Monterey County—both established labels like Chalone to new additions. Pelio Estate, for instance, was represented at the Tasting Pavilion. There were opportunities to learn and to laugh, to see and be seen and to park your daily driver next to a Rolls-Royce.
Pebble Beach Food & Wine—back after a four-year absence following troubled ownership and a global pandemic—saw sold-out events and large weekend crowds for the tasting. The pavilion hosted 50 top chefs doling out everything from barbecue to caviar. There were almost 50 distilleries sharing their spirits and a whopping 175 wineries on hand.
And in its return, funds raised by the event will support local charities. This year, the Pebble Beach Company's foundation organized the big culinary party.

When future archaeologists share the physical objects they found at the apex of a decadent society before the fall, slide one will be a fossilized wine glass necklace holder.
