Hosted at the stunning La Terraza at La Fonda, the Throwdown Luncheon is the most competitive and thrilling culinary event of the Fiesta! We have gathered a fantastic lineup of talented chefs and sommeliers to engage in a friendly match of food and wine pairings. Witness Ahmed Obo from Jambo Cafe, Dale Kester from Santacafé, Travis Limoge from Coyote Cafe, and Eduardo Rodriguez of Zacatlán as they showcase their culinary skills up against our Master Sommelier team including Gillian Ballance, Tim Gaiser, June Rodil, and Joe Spellman. Each of the four chefs and sommeliers will select a wine to complement their dish, while organizers keep this information confidential until the day of the event. With the identities of the wine selectors shrouded in mystery, the excitement mounts as guests cast their votes to determine the best pairing for each course.
Please Note: Seating will be pre-assigned by the organizer for this event. For larger parties wishing to sit together, we recommend purchasing your tickets in one transaction.
