Tickets are now on sale for the 17th annual Delicious Destinations event, which will be held Sept. 7-8 at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club.
The celebration of inspired food and notable wines benefits St. Vincent’s HealthCare’s community outreach programs, which provide free medical care for children and adults in need throughout the area.
“Our community outreach programs enable us to literally meet patients where they are and provide critical care they need in their own communities,” said Jane R. Lanier, president of the St. Vincent’s Foundation. “For nearly two decades now, so many wonderful chefs, sponsors and patrons join us to support this important cause.”
The two-day event, with a theme of “Paradise Found – The South Pacific,” features executive chefs from some of the most prestigious restaurants and resorts throughout the nation.
The first event, a demonstration-style luncheon complete with wine pairings, will take place Friday, Sept. 7 at 11:30 a.m. The VIP Preview Reception will be Saturday, Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. Guests will enjoy culinary masterpieces prepared by Ponte Vedra Inn & Club Executive Chef Hermann Muller.
The main event will take place on Sept. 8 at 7 p.m., during which chefs from some of the nation’s premier resorts — including The Cloister, The Greenbrier and Montage at Palmetto Bluff — will showcase their culinary talents. Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits will provide wines from select domestic and international vineyards, and the event will also include live and silent auctions, as well as a drawing of unique items including spa and restaurant gift certificates, catered dinners and weekend getaways.
