FOOD & WINE Editor in Chief Hunter Lewis said, “If the past 40 years in Aspen have taught us anything, it’s that magic happens when you combine world class talent and programming in such a beautiful place. That’s what makes this a bucket list event for food lovers from around the world. The FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen also serves as a reunion of sorts for the talented chefs, drinks experts, and business leaders to forge connections with their peers, unwind, and return home with a wealth of fresh ideas.”
As part of the FOOD & WINE Gives philanthropic initiative, which supports outstanding charitable partners in the community and culinary industry, the FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen will make a donation to Southern Smoke Foundation, a national emergency relief fund that supports workers in the food and beverage industry in crisis, and No Kid Hungry, the only national campaign committed to ending childhood hunger in the U.S.
