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.
