Star Chefs and Vintners Gala - Meals on Wheels San Francisco

It’s time to mark your calendar for one of the year’s best foodie events.

On April 21st, the Star Chefs and Vintners Gala takes place at Fort Mason. The 26th edition of the event, which features over 100 of the Bay Area’s top Chefs, and 60 of California’s top vintners is a Stark Insider pick, and we strongly urge you to check it out.

This one-night-only epicurean delight features an hors d’oeuvre and wine reception, a three-course dinner and a lavish dessert reception. Throughout the event, guests are invited to participate in live and silent auctions.
