CORAZON DE VIDA :: CHEF COLLABORATION DINNER IN VALLE DE GUADALUPE Posted on 1 Aug 10:21 , 0 comments
On Sunday, May 26th, some of the most renowned chefs in Baja, Mexico, united on an exclusive Chef Collaboration Dinner in Valle de Guadalupe in support of the children of Corazon de Vida. We are very grateful to announce that we raised over $17,000 thanks to everyone’s participation.
It was a magical day for a 6-course dinner at Cava Maciel, the sun set spectacularly in the distance while feelings of love and compassion flooded the hearts of the 50 guests that attended. Guests enjoyed an exquisite dinner paired with the best wines and beers of the region, which is becoming a well-known spot for food and wine around the world. As the guests arrived, they were treated with a signature cocktail and delicate appetizers. From the reception, they proceeded to sit down at the tastefully decorated wooden tables with colorful centerpieces, and the beauty of Valle de Guadalupe was the perfect backdrop scene.
We are deeply grateful to Chef Cosmo Goss (Carne y Vino) who put in all his energy to organize the chef collaboration dinner and ensured its success, to Oscar Torres (Animalon) who also participated with two delicious dishes and donated three In-house Chef Dinner Experiences along with chef Cosmo (a hit in the silent auction). We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to chefs Tony Petracca (Da Toni), Tania and Memo (Criollo Taqueria and In Bocca al Lupo) and Mike Raskin (Carne y Vino) for participating on this unforgettable chef collaboration dinner.
We would like to also highlight and thank: Cava Maciel and Jorge Maciel for hosting the event, Julia Goss for the beautiful photos of the evening, to Jim Brown and Jim Seman for their help in planning the event, recruiting guests and the wines for the dinner, to Oh My Handmade Jewelry for donating to our silent auction, and to all the local wineries that contributed with delicious wines for the pairings – Cava Maciel, Henri Lurton, Trevista Vineyards and Roganto.
We look forward to more event like this one in Valle de Guadalupe to help us raise awareness about our mission of breaking the cycle of child poverty and abandonment in the area. On behalf of all the beautiful children currently living in our orphanages, we thank you.
