Gastronomy by the Bay

September 1-3

Join David Kinch for Gastronomy by the Bay at the San Francisco Ferry Building over Labor Day Weekend. This is the first international gourmet food festival where European and local chefs have the opportunity to come together to explore current and future culinary trends.

The festival’s three full days of culinary events include round table discussions, European and local chefs, gourmet food demonstrations, exclusive receptions, chef book signings, and an all-star gala dinner. Topics addressed include current news from the wine industry, organic produce and sustainable growth, as well as the booming new world of gourmet guides from Michelin to Zagat to Internet blogs.

Cooking demonstrations will be held during the Farmers Market on Saturday. Book signings will include Bay Area and Napa Valley star chefs, culinary authors and international stars.
