Join us May 2020 for Laguna Beach’s Taste of the Nation!

At Laguna Beach’s Taste of the Nation attendees will enjoy tastings from the nation’s top chefs and restaurants, fine wines and premium spirits, live entertainment, and a silent and live auction. Immediately following the main event, guests will be treated to a private post event, with ocean breezes, a breathtaking sunset, and lush landscape while enjoying one of kind wines, a champagne toast, a parting gift and mix and mingle with all the celebrity chefs.

Roughly 400 gourmands and guests convened on Montage Laguna Beach's seaside Pacific Lawn to sample far from culinary kings and queens. Among the royalty: Studio's chef de cuisine Ben Martinek, who served as the day's host chef; Bryan Brown of Bourbon Steak, who tempted taste buds with kona kampachi crudo, and Montage Laguna Beach's pastry chef, Lee Smith, who sweetened things up with elderflower macarons, English strawberry cream tea and more.
