Get ready to indulge in the culinary excellence of Orange County at the 7th Annual Tastemakers event on September 13. The VIP session runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., while General Admission opens from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. This year's lineup boasts Orange County's crème de la crème chefs, uniting award-winning and Michelin guide-recognized restaurants to serve delectable tapas, drinks, and desserts, creating an unforgettable experience for attendees.
Past celebrations have seen over 600 guests savoring wine, caviar-topped dumplings, ceviche, and more as part of the 25th-anniversary festivities.
Beyond the exquisite flavors, the event offers a silent auction, lively tunes, and endless enjoyment throughout the evening. Your participation directly contributes to OCAPICA's impactful programs in health, mental health, housing, youth development, policy education, and efforts against hate and harm across Orange County.
