Chefs in the Gardens 2026
About this Event
Chefs in the Gardens Thursdays, 12–1 PM | Gerald Ford Amphitheater
Step into the Gardens for an hour of culinary inspiration. Each week, one of the Vail Valley's most celebrated chefs takes the stage to share the techniques, stories, and flavors that define their craft — followed by a generous tasting of what they've prepared.
It's part cooking class, part community gathering, and entirely one of a kind.
When you attend, you're not just enjoying a remarkable afternoon - you're helping sustain one of the valley's most treasured public spaces.
