Santa Barbara is gearing up for its first Food and Wine
Weekend from June 6th to the 8th — a three-day culinary extravaganza
celebrating the life of its most famous resident, world-renowned chef and
author Julia Child who spent her final years in the city.[related]

Teaming
up with The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts
and Edible Santa Barbara, the Bacara Resort and Spa will host the event that
will give food-lovers an experience of the best restaurants, wines, and
artisanal treats the region has to offer.

Exploring
Santa Barbara County from the sea to Santa Ynez, the festival will offer
visitors cooking classes, wine receptions and tastings, and a chance to get up
close and personal with local food producers. A special highlight of the
weekend is set to be a tribute to Child. A portion of the proceeds from the
event will go to benefit the Julia Child Foundation. 

The
Bacara Resort is offering overnight packages for the weekend including a
two-night stay at the resort, and tickets to the glitzy opening night wine
reception. Tickets for the actual festival range from free to $250.

More information about the event can be found on their website.
