About the event
Walk-around tasting format
From the Cellar is a walk-around tasting within Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2026, the festival’s 15th Anniversary edition. The program centers on rare and vintage wines poured from large formats, including magnums and jeroboams, with dishes prepared by top chefs. The format is indoor and outdoor, so the event is built around moving through stations rather than a seated dinner.

The event honors Alpana Singh, the first South Asian and youngest female to become a Master Sommelier, and the owner of Alpana Restaurant in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood.

The tasting takes place at The Beach & Tennis Club in Pebble Beach. Admission is ticketed, with the published price at $275, and access is also included in the festival VIP Gold Package. The event is sold out.
Timing
The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, with an evening time window from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM PDT. That timing places it as a three-hour tasting during Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2026.
