We’re excited about our
3rd Annual TOUR OF KITCHENS
Saturday, January 28th, 2012

TICKETS ON SALE NOW. Tickets support the Foundation and make great gifts for foodie and designer friends.

Our self-guided Tour of Kitchens offers something for everyone. The tour will showcase some of Coral Gables’ most spectacular designer kitchens, local area restaurants, and sought-after chefs. To tempt your taste buds, each kitchen will offer a cooking demonstration or tasting (some will have both!) by a favorite local restaurant chef.  Each of the homes will feature unique and stunning designer table settings that are sure to inspire! Also included are special features along the way such as napkin folding origami, foodie merchandise, home goods from local purveyors, and an optional presentation on Kitchen Design by nationally recognized Kitchen Designer, Julia Johnston.

You can begin your tour as early as 9:00 a.m. at the SNAIDERO Showroom where you will kick off the Tour with breakfast treats, mimosas, and coffee. At that time you will receive your complimentary goodie bag containing sponsor gifts, and a map of tour stops . Once you leave SNAIDERO, you can visit any or all of the kitchens in any order at your convenience between 9:00 a.m. and 1:45 p.m., and enjoy brunch and lunch samplings along the way.

Your kitchen tour will conclude with Champagne & Dessert at the Coral Gables Museum between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. with regional celebrity chefs, food consultants, and authors providing demonstrations, signing books, and offering tips for success in the kitchen.

The ticket price includes all of the above (excluding any purchases made from on-site vendors offering merchandise)—beautiful homes, fabulous kitchens, tasty samplings of food and adult beverages, local celebrity chefs, designer table settings, recipes and much, much more!  Join us for one of the most highly anticipated fund raisers of the year. You may take the Tour only or attend only the Soirée but your ticket includes both.

Programs that benefit from the Tour of Kitchens proceeds include a scholarship for an outstanding culinary arts student.

For more information, please call us at 305-446-9670, or email us at info@gablesfoundation.org.

TICKETS are $50 per person | SPONSORSHIP Information/Fact Sheet
