Hosted at La Terraza at La Fonda, the Throwdown Luncheon is one of the most exciting culinary events of the Fiesta! This year’s all-star lineup of chefs—Angel Franco of Palace, David Sellers of Horno, Kathleen Crook of Market Steer, and Israel Castro of Julia: A Spirited Restaurant & Bar at La Posada—will each create a signature dish. In a playful twist, each course will be paired with two wines: one chosen by the chef, the other by one of our distinguished Master Sommeliers—Gillian Ballance, Tim Gaiser, Joe Spellman, and June Rodil. But here’s the catch: the identities behind each wine selection remain a mystery until the reveal. As the courses unfold, guests will vote for their favorite pairings, adding intrigue and friendly rivalry to this spirited showdown of culinary and wine-pairing prowess!
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.
