Come join Local Roots Food Tours as we get up close and personal with local farmers, vintners, and an executive chef in our Market-To-Plate Executive Chef’s Tour! This tour takes you through a popular downtown Sacramento farmer’s market, Cesar Plaza Farmer’s Market and then into a four course, four star dining experience prepared by a four star restaurant executive chef!
This tour is a culinary and educational adventure. Participants are guided through an open-air market, where you can chat with the farmers and producers as the aroma of herbs and flowers waft around you. You’ll learn about what’s in season and how to choose and prepare foods from their seasonal harvest. We will meet local olive oil producers, lavender and flower producers, meat producers, and other artisans – in short, people who love to work with and talk about food! A shopping experience like no other!
Our tour continues with a 4course exclusive lunch prepared by Executive Chef Michel at Morgan’s Restaurant (a four star, hidden gem restaurant serving farm-to-table ingredients). Lunch will be prepared using fresh local seasonal ingredients. Chef Michel will educate participants on how to use the produce they purchased at the morning market and share his culinary wisdom and passion for fresh, local ingredients. Definitely an up close dining experience! Lunch will be paired with a selected local wine. Chef will proceed with one of his signature desserts utilizing the bountiful freshness of local fruits.
This tour is a foodie dream come true–shopping, eating, and food education from two of Sacramento’s most talented and passionate chefs. Each ticket includes an exclusive market shopping bag, a trained culinary concierge, and a sumptuous 4 course lunch, paired with wine and prepared by a local executive chef.
Note: The chef will accommodate for vegetarians and food allergies; however, food aversions such as Vegan and Gluten Free will not be specifically accommodated except a vegetarian option. No special accommodations will be made for participants who just don't like the type of food being offered.
