From October 8-11, The Resort at Pelican Hill® presents its fifth annual Festa dell’Autunno, an autumn festival that brings the traditions of Italy to Southern California’s own Tuscan seaside

village. New this year, the weekend festivities begin on Thursday with a Guest Chef Wine Dinner at Pelican Grill, followed by two addi-tional Guest Chef Wine Dinners at Andrea Ristorante on Friday and Saturday.

“Resort guests and locals will savor the seasonally inspired autumn cuisine of not one, but two superb guest chefs from acclaimed Miche-lin-starred restaurants in Tuscany,” said Pelican Hill Managing Di-rector Giuseppe Lama. “Celebrating time-honored traditions like art, pageantry, music, food and wine, the flagship event of the weekend, Italian Street Festival, this year features a charming evening ambiance with olive tree-lined lanes and Palladian architecture illuminated after dark.”

“...GUESTS AND LOCALS WILL SAVOR THE SEASONALLY INSPIRED AUTUMN CUISINE OF NOT ONE, BUT TWOSUPERB GUEST CHEFS FROM ACCLAIMED MICHELIN-STARRED RESTAURANTS IN TUSCANY...”
