23rd Edition of the Festival Gourmet International, Puerto Vallarta-Bahía de Banderas-Tepic
Share
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, icon of Mexico with its “Seahorse”, which talks about the natural beauties this area has on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The sea’s vicinity and the fresh ingredients it produces have brought about a strong gastronomy, making it grow exponentially both domestically and internationally.
It’s been 23 years since the “Gourmet Festival” was born in Puerto Vallarta thanks to its creators, Thierry Blouet y Heinz Reize, chefs born abroad but with a fully-Vallartan heart. Their idea was to promote and raise the culinary level of the area to international standards to make it more competitive, thanks to the interaction with the new methods and creativity of highly-qualified chefs. In 2000 Chef Roland Menetrey joined the cause, bringing in his experience to foster this great culinary fiesta.
The original format is still on, meaning that every participating restaurant invites a celebrity of the culinary world, Mexican or foreigner, to share their best and most representative recipe of their gastronomy. 28 top-notch hotels and restaurants are participating this year.
This culture and gastronomy exchange has benefitted everybody: local chefs, guest master chefs, our tourists and therefore all the community promoting the proverbial Mexican hospitality in a peerless gourmet experience.
This 23rd edition features a special activities program to honor wine, cheese and jazz, with an attractive polo tournament. The dates are November 10 through 19, 2017.
See the full program here.
Also, every night in all the participating restaurants and hotels, delicious culinary creations will be served, created by their guest chef. Click here to learn more.
