Event Description:
Saturday, Sept. 15
Grand Tasting presented by Rouses Markets
Main Street and Wharf Parkway, 4 – 7:30 p.m.
The Wharf Entertainment District will be lined with vendors offering wine, beer and spirit tastings and small bites from more than 13 local restaurants competing in the culinary completion. Chef and mixology demonstrations will take place throughout the event at the Rouses Markets & Banfi Culinary Experience Stage. Guests will have the opportunity to cast a vote for their favorite dish for the People’s Choice Award, which will be presented at the end of the night with a ceremony of awards.
Regular ticket pricing begins July 6 at $60 and last minute pricing is $70 starting Aug. 31.
“This is our third year sponsoring Wharf Uncorked, and all of the food for the Culinary Experience Stage and the Chef Showdown will come from our new Rouses Market in Orange Beach,” said Donny Rouse, CEO of Rouses Market. “My great grandfather emigrated from Sardinia making this year’s Italian theme a perfect fit.”
The chefs will be using the new line of authentic Italian-made products from Rouses Markets with recipes dating back hundreds – even thousands – of years.
“We went to the source for our private label. Italians, after all, are as passionate about their food culture as we are here on the Gulf Coast,” said Rouse. Culinary stage cooking demonstrations will be put on by Chef Nino from Rouses Markets, Pete Blohme owner & chef at Panini Pete’s, and Louisiana based culinary entertainer Amy Sins.
Combination tickets for the VIP Kick Off + Chef Showdown and the Grand Tasting are available at regular pricing beginning July 6 at $85 and last minute pricing is $100 beginning Aug. 31.
Tickets are available online through Ticketmaster.com or at The Wharf box office. For more information, please visit TheWharfUncorked.com.
