Modern American at Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2026

Lunch format

This Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2026 event is part of the Vitamix® Series and is set up as an indoor seated lunch. The format matters here: it is not listed as a walk-around tasting or reception, but as a seated meal built around a hosted lunch program.

The published admission price is $250. The event is listed in Pebble Beach, California, with Roy’s at The Inn at Spanish Bay named for the restaurant setting.

Food and wine focus

The program is a multi-course lunch centered on contemporary American cuisine, diversity, and creativity. That framing is the main subject of the meal, rather than a single featured dish or one named regional style.

Wine is part of the course structure. Silver Oak Cellars provides pairings to accompany each course, so the wine component is presented as integrated with the meal rather than as a separate tasting.

Hosts

The host lineup brings together three chefs: Esther Choi, connected with mokbar, Gahm, and Ms Yoo; Zepeda, connected with Chispa Hospitality; and Francis Ang, connected with Abacá. Each is listed as a host and chef for the lunch.
