This year’s “A Culinary Evening with the California Winemasters” celebration is coming up on Saturday, May 18, at the iconic Midwest Street Backlot at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank and is set to attract approximately 1,200 wine and food enthusiasts, all coming together to support cystic fibrosis research and care.
Glenn Salva, estate director for Antinori Napa Valley, and Sam Marvin, chef and CEO of Echo & Rig Steakhouse in Sacramento, and Las Vegas, are this year’s honorary co-chairmen. The evening will showcase the talents of 55 chefs and restaurateurs alongside 75 award-winning wineries and winemakers.
Guests will have the opportunity to participate in an auction with over 600 silent and live auction items, featuring rare wines, unique experiences, and exclusive items. Anticipated net proceeds of $1,500,000 will contribute to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s research and care programs. Over the past 34 years, this event has raised $36 million.
“We cannot express enough our gratitude for the unwavering support we’ve received over the past 34 years from some of the world’s most prominent Wineries, winemakers, chefs, and restaurants,” said Olivia Younan, development director of Cystic Fibrosis Southern California Chapter. “As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we extend an invitation to everyone to join us for this special occasion and make a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by cystic fibrosis.”
