Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa Launches Local Chef Dinner Series

Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is launching a Local Chef Dinner Series kicking off in August with some of San Diego’s most beloved culinary talents. With so much industry firepower in San Diego, Estancia wanted to create a special collaboration event where chefs could play, collaborate and create for a unique guest chef series event.

Dinner under the stars

Taking place at Estancia in their olive tree-lined garden, attendees can enjoy a decadent multi-course dinner under the stars paired with a curated cocktail and or wine to accompany the meal. Each guest chef will collaborate with Estancia’s Executive Chef Vincent Savignano to create a one-of-a-kind menu where the inspiration behind each dish will be shared by the chefs.

Mark your calendar

The series kicks off on August 17th with locally-celebrated Chef Phillip Estaban from White Rice. Future dinners include collaborations with Chef Ian Tenzer and Bar and Spirits Creative Director Beau Du Bois from Puesto’s on September 14th, Chef Sara Harris from Herb & Sea on October 5th and Chef DuVal Warner from Ranch 45 on October 26th.

Limited tickets are available for $150 and include this intimate food and beverage experience and complimentary valet parking. Tickets will not be sold at the door.

See you there….and stay healthy, San Diego!
