Founded in 1981 by Jim Canepa, former owner of Mill Valley Market, as a “little wine and cheese gathering,” the Mill Valley Wine & Gourmet Food Tasting has evolved over time to become the preeminent event of its kind in the greater Bay Area. Noted for its crème de la crème selection of hard-to-find and sought after wines, as well as an amazing array of gourmet products and the hottest recipes from the culinary world, this is a connoisseur opportunity not to be missed! Five of Marin’s most highly regarded restaurants including the Balboa Café, Bungalow 44, Piatti, Piazza D’Angelo and Small Shed Flatbreads, as well as two exceptional new Mill Valley eateries Dish and Tsukiji Sushi, will enhance the event with signature tastings. Outstanding live jazz and a silent auction will also compliment the afternoon’s activities on the Plaza.
