After four years, the extravagant Pebble Beach Food & Wine festival returns in April.

Dormant since 2020, the elegant culinary spectacle returns to the California seaside town for four days, featuring influential and world-famous chefs from across the country. Notable Bay Area chefs, including the Food Network’s Tyler Florence, Charles Phan of Slanted Door fame and Suzette Gresham of Acquellero, will be on-site cooking up a storm. Television personalities such as Geoffrey Zakarian, Scott Conant and Andrew Zimmern, who have all been guest judges on Food Network’s “Chopped,” will also be in attendance.

The charity event is a showcase of culinary talent put on by the non-profit Pebble Beach Company Foundation, which aims to support the area’s youth with literacy and education programs. The weekend extravaganza, from April 4-7, was first launched in 2008 and will be hosted once again at Pebble Beach Resorts, which is the site of the world-famous golf course that has hosted many PGA Tour Championship tournaments, including in 2002, when Tiger Woods won his first U.S. Open.
