AN EXPLORATION OF CALI-BAJA GASTRONOMY
There’s a cultural movement afoot just south of the border. Baja California is reinventing itself as a center for culinary excellence, organic farming, superior winemaking, and artisan craft brewing — and this region’s farm-to-fork culinary influence is reaching north into Alta California. Innovative chefs, farmers, winemakers, and brewmasters on both sides of the border are defining a new Mexican culinary experience…
Tasting is believing, so Edible San Diego and Baja Test Kitchen have partnered to bring you Edible Baja, an ongoing series of intimate tasting events to be held north and south of the border. At these exclusive gatherings and on curated tasting tours, you’ll meet the makers — chefs, winemakers, craft brewers, organic farmers, and sustainable producers leading this binational culinary movement — and taste the product of their work.
Have you sampled the award-winning wines from Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe? Did you know that Baja California is home to Mexico’s largest and most important independent craft beer movement? Were you aware that several of Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants (as selected by San Pellegrino) are located just south of the border in Baja California? If you haven’t made it south of the border to experience one of the world’s hottest culinary destinations firsthand, be sure to join the Edible Baja mailing list today, and be the first to know about our monthly tasting events in San Diego and Baja California, as well as our tasting tours and culinary expeditions south of the border.
