Saturday Afternoon Grand Tasting

Celebrate the good life San Francisco style with a farm-fresh feast for the senses. The bounty of Northern California takes center stage as passionate chefs from the Bay Area’s most coveted restaurants wow guests with a thrilling selection of fresh, local and delicious dishes, accompanied by perfectly paired wines, beers and spirits. Savor generous samples from one end of the square to the other while distinguished chefs and culinary experts strut their stuff live on the demo stage. Proceeds from the afternoon benefit the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA), operator of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.
