Guadalupe Valley Food & Wine Festival – Oct. 22-23
After taking a hiatus due to the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the Guadalupe Valle Food & Wine Festival is returning to Baja this month, but with a lot of changes in store, including a new venue, two days of tasting events and an expanded lineup of top chefs from both sides of the border.
One of the 50 or so participating chefs that the event founders are most excited about is Gabriela Cámara, who runs one of Mexico City’s top restaurants, Contramar, and is a leader in the nation’s culinary scene.
Other visiting chefs this year include Food Network star Rick Bayless, whose Red O Mexican restaurant chain has a location in La Jolla; Brian Redzikowski of Kettner Exchange in San Diego; Ori Menashe of Bestia and Bavel in L.A.; Neal Fraser of Slab BBQ in L.A.; and Frank Ostini from the Hitching Post 2 in California’s Santa Ynez Valley.
Participating Baja chefs include David Castro Hussong and Maribel Aldoca of Fauna and Bruma Wine Garden in the Valle; Ruffo Ibarra of Oryx in Tijuana; Jesus SaldÃvar of Laja in the Valle; David MartÃnez of Muelle Tres in Ensenada; Janina Garay of Grupo Tahona in Tijuana; and Sheyla Alvarado of Lunario in the Valle.
