The Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe presents the 9th Annual Taste of Rancho Santa Fe on the lawns of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on October 8, from 4-7 pm, bringing together more than 60 of the best food and wine partners to showcase their offerings to the community. Proceeds from this all-volunteer event support the fundraising efforts of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Foundation, formed in 1959, whose mission is to serve various San Diego area causes including ending hunger and human trafficking, and helping the less fortunate, our brave soldiers present and past, and many others needing a helping hand. The title sponsors are Hoehn Motors, Linda Bernstein and Jordan Beal of Compass, and The Morrison Foerster Foundation in partnership with The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and Ranch & Coast Magazine. Magnum sponsors are Chris Amato’s Body Werks and the Wells Fargo Foundation. Co-chairs are Jerah Payne of The Heritage Escrow Company and Ranch & Coast Magazine Publisher Bob Stefanko. As the sun begins to set, guests will enjoy stellar dishes and sips from culinary standouts including Ember & Rye at Park Hyatt Aviara, Adelaide at L’Auberge Del Mar, VAGA at Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, Wiens Family Cellars, Daou Vineyards, and many more. In addition, Clique Hospitality, the boutique hospitality company behind celebrated San Diego hotspots Serēa and Lionfish, is preparing to debut its latest culinary offerings — Lilian’s and Bing Bar — as a part of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe’s extensive renovation and reopening. The Taste of Rancho Santa Fe will give attendees a sneak peek experience inside Lilian’s (replacing Morada) and Bing Bar, before the hotel officially opens to the public in November. “We are thrilled to be a part of the team that is bringing new life to The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe,” says Clique Hospitality Founder Andy Masi. “As we imagined these new concepts, we sought to create a restaurant and a bar as singular and as special as Rancho Santa Fe, as an ode to The Inn’s long-standing role as a gathering place for the community.” As The Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe’s sole annual fundraiser, Taste of Rancho Santa Fe also features a robust silent auction including staycation getaways, top-tier food and wine experiences, and luxury goods and services.
