2016 Sponsorship Opportunities
Be a select part of the excitement with this award-winning Food & Wine Festival Combining some of the most iconic names in the industry in exquisite and intimate settings, the Festival brings together those who love and appreciate fine food, great wine, and camaraderie. You and Our Community Together with our sponsors, the Big Sur Food & Wine Festival showcases our local winemakers and culinary artists as we give back to our own community, schools and other non-profits in the areas of Health, Safety, Education and the
Arts. And because so many of our friends and neighbors continue to be affected by the Soberanes fire, we are committed to fund fire relief efforts on an ongoing basis. Big Sur Food and Wine is committed to maximizing your company s exposure through hundreds of local and imported culinary and wine-loving aficionados. Our demographics will reflect the upscale level of educated attendees from all over the country. With our focus on food and wine, we have a few truly amazing surprises up our (coastal) sleeves! Thank you for your consideration of sponsorship for the Festival, and we look forward to working with you.
