GALLERY: GREATER PALM SPRINGS IS RIPE WITH FOOD FESTIVALS

FEBRUARY 20, 2023

As Modernism Week kicked off over the weekend in the Coachella Valley amid comfortably lower temperatures than usual for this time of year, more than 30 food and wine vendors convened at the Classic Club golf course in Palm Desert for the Greater Palm Springs Food and Wine Festival.Presented by the Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella and part of the Desert Woman’s Show, some of the valley’s most popular and new restaurants lined up outdoors along the golf course.

Big Rock Golf & Pub at Indian Springs from Indio teed off lunch with 120 pounds worth of brilliantly deconstructed barbecue deviled eggs – diced whites and whipped yolks on a dollop of barbecue sauce topped with pickled onions and microgreens in a cup.Wildest Restaurant and Bar served up Bloody Mary ceviche with banana chips and the new Cowboy Cantina in Palm Desert handed out barbecue beef sliders topped with coleslaw. Coachella’s 29 Brews was on hand to help wash down spicy wontons from Malie Asian Cuisine and the Daou Vineyards rose was the perfect dipping vehicle for The Real Italian Deli’s biscotti.

As a snowbird from Canada, and a first time attendee, I was so impressed when I didn’t have the ‘correct’ printout of our tickets that were to include the tasting area. We were ushered to the main desk, and even before our statements were verified, our wrist bands were on our wrists and we were good to go. THAT’S how to keep people coming back. Felt like a garden party and myself and my guest – both of us from Alberta – made the day a great experience! I had just seen the ads and thought it would be something for ‘us girls’ to enjoy while the guys were golfing. Thank you. Carol L / attendee
