Experience Culinary Magic at the 42nd FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen This June

The culinary world is abuzz with excitement as FOOD & WINE announces its star-studded lineup for the 42nd annual FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen. Taking place from June 20 to 22, 2025, this three-day festival transforms the picturesque mountain town into a haven for food and wine enthusiasts.

This year’s event promises an impressive roster of celebrity chefs and industry experts who will lead cooking demonstrations, panel discussions, educational seminars, and tastings. Patrons can expect to see culinary icons such as Padma Lakshmi, Ayesha Curry, Tyler Florence, and Kristen Kish, among others. In addition, renowned figures from the beverage industry, including sommeliers and wine experts, will host a series of informative wine and beverage seminars.

The FOOD & WINE Classic has established itself as a staple in the culinary calendar, widely recognized as an essential gathering for foodies and industry professionals alike. FOOD & WINE’s Editor in Chief, Hunter Lewis, emphasized the team's dedication to providing innovative and delightful culinary experiences, highlighting the festival's role in showcasing emerging trends in gastronomy.

Attendees can indulge in various activities, from cooking demos to wine tastings at the legendary tasting pavilion, which is the event's centerpiece. The festival will also feature numerous celebrations, including exclusive dinners and buzz-worthy parties, allowing guests to mingle and enjoy the vibrant culinary scene of Aspen.

Beyond the culinary experiences, the FOOD & WINE Classic also supports philanthropic efforts through its FOOD & WINE Gives initiative. This year, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Southern Smoke Foundation, which provides emergency relief for food and beverage workers in crisis, and No Kid Hungry, a national campaign aimed at eradicating childhood hunger in the United States.

The anticipation around the FOOD & WINE Classic reflects its reputation as the ‘unofficial kickoff of summer’ in Aspen—a time when the town welcomes food and beverage lovers to immerse themselves in an adult summer camp-like atmosphere. Festival-goers will have the opportunity to taste and experience some of the best culinary offerings while engaging with talented chefs and experts.

Tickets for this eagerly awaited event will go on sale starting January 22, 2025, at 12 PM ET through the official website, classic.foodandwine.com. This year promises to deliver even more exciting experiences, including new and enhanced features that will make the festival both memorable and impactful for everyone involved.

Furthermore, the FOOD & WINE Classic’s influence continues to expand, with the success of the recently launched FOOD & WINE Classic in Charleston, which made waves in November 2024. The second iteration of that festival is already scheduled for November 14-16, 2025, further solidifying FOOD & WINE's commitment to elevating culinary culture across the country.

In summary, the 42nd FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen is set to be an unforgettable gathering, where food, wine, and culture converge. Mark your calendars and prepare to indulge in unparalleled culinary experiences, while also contributing to noteworthy charitable causes.
