Gourmet Glamour: Inside the Kenner Wine and Food Event at Chateau
Event Date: October 16, 2025 |
The recent Kenner Wine and Food Event at the elegant Chateau Golf & Country Club was a dazzling celebration that reaffirmed Kenner’s place in the Gulf South’s culinary landscape. This annual gathering goes beyond a simple tasting, transforming the country club grounds into a sophisticated evening bazaar dedicated to world-class gastronomy and fine beverages. The event successfully combined a showcase of impressive culinary talent with a significant community giveback, making it a highlight of the social calendar.
Guests enjoyed an unforgettable array of offerings from more than 70 vendors. Attendees had the opportunity to sample innovative dishes from celebrated local restaurants—like Drago’s and Vincent’s—who vied for the coveted People’s Choice Best Dish award. This focus on competition brings out the best in local chefs, putting their creativity and expertise on full display. The food was complemented by an extraordinary selection of wines from across the globe, from robust Old World reds to crisp New World whites, all designed to explore the art of food and wine pairing. Beyond the main beverage, a popular “Bourbon Alley” and a “Cigar Lounge” provided alternative experiences, and local legends like Gambino’s and Tastee Donuts (serving McKenzie’s classics) ensured the dessert stations were equally tempting.
More than just a night of indulgence, the Kenner Wine and Food Event serves a crucial philanthropic purpose. A portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold is dedicated to supporting local charities, demonstrating the community-minded spirit of the organizers and attendees. The beautiful, moonlit setting around the Chateau’s pool and the energy provided by live music created a vibrant, upscale atmosphere. For students interested in the hospitality or culinary fields, this event is a powerful example of how large-scale, high-end events are managed, successfully blending entertainment, fine dining, and charitable fundraising into a seamless and highly enjoyable experience. It was, once again, a smashing success that celebrated both taste and community.
