The 11th Annual Taste of Rancho Santa Fe returns to the lawns of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

The 11th Annual Taste of Rancho Santa Fe returned on October 5, transforming the lawns of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe into a vibrant afternoon celebration of food, wine, and community. Presented by the Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe, the sold-out event brought together more than 75 of the region’s top restaurants, wineries, and spirit brands for an unforgettable culinary experience — all in support of local causes through the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Foundation.

Guests savored bites and pours from standout participants including Lilian’s, Bistro Rancho Santa Fe, Nourish Eats, Culinary Dropout, Amalfi Cucina Italiana, Glass Box, Bebemos Tequila, Julius Vodka, The Fish Market, and Chef Emily Brubaker of Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, winner of Yes, Chef! on NBC. Live music by Freddie Walton set the tone for the afternoon, followed by a lively after-party featuring DJ Chris Cantore.

The event’s success was made possible by title sponsors Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, Hoehn Motors, Bistro Rancho Santa Fe (soon to re-open as Paseo), and The Morrison Foerster Foundation, in partnership with venue host The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and Ranch & Coast Magazine, whose publisher Bob Stefanko and editor-in-chief Mia Park served as co-chairs.

As the Rotary’s sole annual fundraiser, Taste of Rancho Santa Fe once again combined exceptional culinary talent with philanthropy, raising record-breaking funds to support programs benefiting veterans, children, seniors, and those in need throughout San Diego County.
