The Farmer and the Cook

Join us for an unforgettable evening at bouchon, celebrating the harmonious relationship between Santa Barbara County’s farmers and finest restaurants. Indulge in a multi-course meal showcasing two things that Julia adored: local ingredients and wine country cuisine.

Your evening will start on bouchon’s outdoor dining terrace with hors d’oeuvres and paired wines from Holus  Bolus, Presqu’ile Winery, and Storm Wines . As the sun sets you will transition to the main dining room and choose from an incredible menu of specialty seasonal dishes prepared for this event. 

Throughout the evening you’ll meet the featured farmers, winemakers, and the chef. 

Wines generously provided by Holus Bolus, Presqu’ile Winery, and Storm Wines will highlight their craft from the Presqui’le Estate Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley. You’ll meet these winemaker personalities and hear from local farmer Jason Avila from Avila and Sons Farms, Roots Farms and Kirsten Soria, of the Santa Barbara Farmers Market. 

Meet bouchon’s Executive Chef Vicken Tavitian who will share his inspirations for the night’s menu.

Reserve your seat for an unforgettable evening of exquisite food, rich conversation, and excellent wine, as we celebrate the vibrant flavors of Santa Barbara County’s bountiful produce!

A portion of the proceeds from the Taste of Santa Barbara will benefit the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience in partnership with The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts.
