When: September 18th, 19th & 20th
The grand finale of the summer event season is here, and it is a spectacular one. I am thrilled to be heading back to Ridgefield for the ilani Wine & Food Fest, happening September 18th through 20th, 2026.
This three-day culinary celebration is the Pacific Northwest’s premier event for foodies and wine enthusiasts. With celebrity chef demonstrations, elite tastings, and an artisan market, it’s an incredible atmosphere to spend a September weekend.
A Weekend of Culinary Magic
The ilani Wine & Food Fest is known for bringing big talent and even bigger flavors to our region. While you explore the festival, you can expect:
The Grand Tastings: Sample hundreds of wines, craft beers, and spirits on the ilani garage rooftop. It’s a beautiful outdoor setting to enjoy the late summer breeze.
Celebrity Chef Sightings: Watch live cooking demonstrations from world-renowned chefs. In past years, we’ve seen icons like Maneet Chauhan and Marcus Samuelsson take the stage!
Artisanal Quality: I’ll be set up in the festival marketplace with my full collection of hand-forged jewelry.
Jewelry for the Modern Collector
Whether you're attending a high-end "Vintage Elite Cru" tasting or a casual afternoon dine-around, your jewelry should tell a story. I’ll be showcasing:
Gold & Gemstone Heirlooms: Stunning 14k gold and sterling silver pieces featuring semi-precious stones that transition seamlessly from daytime tastings to elegant evening dinners.
Handcrafted Details: My latest work focuses on texture and light, including hand-beaded necklaces and custom-formed earrings that highlight the natural beauty of the materials.
Sustainable Craftsmanship: Every piece you find at my booth is handcrafted with a commitment to quality and ethical sourcing.
