Sample the Sierra – Farm to Fork Festival

August 5, 2016

Visit South Lake Tahoe on Saturday September, 17 2016 and participate in the South Shore’s only Farm to Fork Festival: Sample The Sierra! Sample the Sierra brings together local chefs, artists and winemakers that honor the Sierra Nevada with their craft. 2016 will be the 7th year of this annual event, and it is sure to be another successful year.

When: Saturday, September 17, 2016
Where: Bijou Community Park (1099 Al Tahoe Blvd. | South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150)
Time: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Your $40 full tasting ticket will allow you taste local food, and sip on local wines as you walk through all the booths. Vendors come together and provide pairings to try, and you can vote on your favorite one. That is, if you can choose your favorite! While you are meandering your way through different booths, local musicians will be playing on the Sierra Chef stage. When you are well fed and want to relax, take a seat on the lawn and enjoy the music.

The big event of the day is the Sierra Chef Challenge. In this challenge, chefs battle it out over three different heats of two chefs cooking against each other. The participants are provided a mystery box of locally sourced ingredients, and have 45 minutes to create their dishes. To add their own personal touch, the chefs can bring three items from their restaurant to add to their dishes as well as a table with produce, dairy and dry goods needs. The dishes are then judged on their presentation and taste. The two chefs with the best dishes will then compete against each other for the Sierra Chef title!

In addition to the main even on Saturday, there is also a Pop-Up Dinner on Friday with Chef Clint Jolly. You may have seen Clint Jolly as a winner of Food Network’s Chopped: Impossible Restaurant Challenge. At the Pop-Up Dinner attendees can enjoy four courses of locally grown Sierra Nevada ingredients paired with local wines. Tickets are $75 per person. The Pop-Up dinner is on Friday, September 16, 2016 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Park Prime Steakhouse inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe.

Many of the local farms will have tours going on throughout the weekend. Pop in on your way in to Tahoe or on the way back home and see first hand where some of your food is sourced from.

If you are interested in visiting South Lake Tahoe during this time, call a Buckingham Reservation Specialist to assist you. One great thing about this event, is that it occurs on the slower season in Tahoe. This means that when you visit there will be less tourists, and better lodging rates at your vacation rental!
