History of the Festival
Established in 1995 by visionary chefs, Thierry Blouet and Heinz Reize, the annual Puerto Vallarta Gourmet Festival was designed to promote the region’s thriving gourmet scene and provide a platform for experimentation and celebration of the culinary arts. The festival usually takes place in November each year and involves a number of fine dining restaurants and hotels throughout Puerto Vallarta as well as special events. The idea is that local chefs work alongside celebrated international names to learn new techniques and encourage chefs to embrace their creativity.
Since the festival’s first days, when only a handful of independent restaurants and hotels were involved, the event has grown enormously. To date, the events has hosted more than 500 guest chefs to delight the palates of almost half a million foodies. Why not add your knife and fork to these statistics and join us in November?
