Last year’s American Wine & Food Festival was a sell-out and the most successful ever! This year’s 25th Anniversary event will be even more exciting!
On September 29, 2007, a line up of today’s most prominent chefs will converge at Universal Studios in Los Angeles for the 25th annual American Wine & Food Festival. A star-studded gathering of internationally celebrated chefs and fine wine and spirit purveyors will serve in honor of the occasion.
The American Wine & Food Festival is open to the public and features live music, a silent auction and an epicurean feast prepared by some of the world’s greatest chefs.
Since its inception in 1982, the Puck-Lazaroff Charitable Foundation has supported the American Wine & Food Festival, raising more than $11 million for Los Angeles Chapter of Meals on Wheels. The Meals on Wheels programs of Los Angeles serve thousands of meals each day to the elderly, disabled and homebound members of our community.
