Fête Rouge Returns
Gathering together the capital city's culinary creatives
Renaissance Hotel 7000 Bluebonnet Blvd., Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70810
The Baton Rouge Epicurean Society (BRES) is gathering together the capital city's culinary creatives to host the annual celebration of all things food and wine that is Fête Rouge. Forks and palates at the ready—there's lots of eating and toasting to be done.
This year the Renaissance Baton Rouge hotel plays host to the famous Food & Wine Fête. Local chefs prepare their best dishes for the chance at winning the gold medal in the Fête Rouge Chefs Competition, and somebody has to eat all those delicacies. Live entertainment, a silent auction with Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital, a raffle to win a two-hundred-bottle wine cellar, and more than two hundred wines available for tasting round out this event. 7 pm–10 pm. $85 at the door.
