The Gourmet Festival’s History

The Gourmet Festival’s History  

This annual gourmet festival was established in 1995 by culinary visionaries Chef Thierry Blouet and Chef Heinz Reize (with Chef Roland Menetrey becoming an honorary founder in 2000) as a way to draw greater attention to the flourishing culinary scene in Puerto Vallarta.  The gourmet offerings in the region have grown immensely in the years since the festival began, drawing foodies from around the world who enjoy taking a vacation in the delightful, culinarily progressive destination.  Over the years, the International Gourmet Festival has impressed the palates of nearly half a million attendees, thanks to the extraordinary skills and talent of the featured guest chefs, several of whom have coveted Michelin stars.  

The Puerto Vallarta Gourmet Festival presents a great opportunity to sample some of the city’s most outstanding cuisine, so be sure and book a vacation in November to take advantage of everything the festival has to offer.
