Join celebrated Los Angeles chef
and multiple James Beard Award-winner, Nancy Silverton, and the Santa Barbara
Vintners Association for a magical evening of tastes and sips! Sold Out
The opening Wine Reception
includes a tribute to the late Julia Child at Bacara’s recently-opened
oceanfront restaurant, Angel Oak. Join us in honoring Julia’s lasting
legacy with an extensive wine tasting reception presented by the Santa Barbara
County Vintners’ Association and a specially curated menu by the talented
Chef Silverton.
Chef Silverton is the founder of La Brea Bakery and the celebrated Mozza. In
her episode of Netflix’s Chef’s Table, Mario Batali praises
Silverton’s dedication to her craft: “Her obsession is her mantra. She works so
much on something. By repetition, a thousand and a thousand and a thousand
times, over and over again. That level is very craftsmanship, not necessarily
artistic. And that distinguishes her from a lot of fancy Michelin star chefs.” Her
three restaurants, Pizzeria Mozza, Osteria Mozza, and Chi Spacca are true
testaments to her ability to create, as Batali puts it, “food that
nourishes not only your palate, but your soul.”

About
Join us April 7-9, 2017 for the 4thd Annual Santa Barbara Food & Wine Weekend - three days celebrating Julia Child’s lifelong love of eating well and Santa Barbara’s coastal bounty. The event weekend's beneficiary, The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts, was created by Julia in 1995 to continue to advance matters she valued. The Foundation’s mission is to honor and further Julia’s legacy, which centers on the importance of understanding where food comes from, what makes for good food, and the value of cooking. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, the Foundation is a grant-making, non-profit which primarily funds research and scholarships for professional culinary training as well as other activities in the fields of gastronomy and the culinary arts. Through the organizations and programs it supports, the Foundation continues to foster Julia’s lifelong love of learning, her far-reaching impact as a teacher and mentor, and her passion for gastronomy and the culinary arts.
