ORANGE COUNTY, CA, USA, June 26, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Celebrity Chef Jamie Gwen and Celebrity Event Planner Nicole Hirsty, founder of Cobalt Events, are collaborating to create the premiere culinary event in Orange County: RELISH, a Food Wine & Spirits Experience (https://www.relishfoodwine.com). This inaugural extraordinary event will take place from Friday, August 23, through Sunday, August 25. The nation’s leading Celebrity Chefs including Tyler Florence and Scott Conant, Master Sommeliers, and Spirits Authorities will come together to offer guests an elevated and curated weekend experience unlike any other.
Over the course of this three-day event, guests will celebrate top-tier cuisine and lifestyle through a series of unparalleled experiences. These include intimate cooking demos, winemaker seminars, spirit tastings, a Master Class in Cheese, Pastry Enlightenment, and more, all woven throughout the weekend. RELISH is proud to partner with the James Beard Foundation, the only event in the history of Orange County with a James Beard affiliation and VEA Newport Beach Hotel, the event's headquarters, where guests will enjoy sweeping views and sophisticated coastal comfort.
