After a tough winter, we are more than ready for a summer of sun and fun. Rope off your calendars for July 11-12, 2014. The Mammoth Food & Wine Experience schedule has been announced and select ticket packages are on sale now!

Thanks to some well-deserved attention from ny.eater.com (NYC's Top Sommeliers on 2013 and the Year Ahead), California wines are gearing up for a great year. 

We always love summers in Mammoth Lakes, CA, and the Food & Wine Experience adds an extra celebration. 

Some things you can expect from the two-day event:

Best of the Burger Battle

Area chefs and their signature gourmet burgers, square off before a panel of foodies. 

Wine Walk at the Village

You'll walk through the beautiful Mammoth village sampling wines from over 12 wineries and snacking on light bites. Stick around afterward for a full meal and an 80s dance party with the always fun and outrageous, Spazmatics.

Al fresco dining and demonstrations

Learn from top chefs in how to prepare fish and game. Then, enjoy a feast of freshly prepared fish, bison, boar, and venison.

Private home dinners prepared by celebrity chefs

Special ticket packages include a meal prepared in a private home by celebrity chefs. This year's featured chefs include; Josie Le Balch, Bruce Kalman, and Ray Garcia.

Educational Seminars

At least eight different seminars are planned for 2014. They include presentations about the wine making process, cooking techniques, plate presenations, and meal and wine pairing.

Auctions

Live and silent auctions are held throughout the experience. Participants may have the opportunity to bid on golf and spa packages, private dinners, wine, sports equipment, and more. Proceeds are donated to the Mammoth Lakes Foundation.

Held annually, the Food & Wine Experience is a fundraiser supporting the Mammoth Lakes Foundation, an organization working for higher education and the arts. The foundation's goal is to bring higher education and cultural enrichment opportunities to the area that support a strong year-round economy.
