The Foundation Table The second annual Foundation Table event at Pebble Beach Food & Wine was a celebration of culinary excellence and Pebble Beach Company Foundation’s 50 years of giving, in support of the educational needs of Monterey County youth. More than 120 Foundation advocates were on hand at The Beach Club for the event headlined by renowned chefs Alice Waters and Jonathan Waxman. The Foundation Table debuted last year as a celebration of our family of benefactors, donors and partner agencies focused on helping children reach their full potential. Culinary legends and James Beard honorees Waters and Waxman teamed with students from the Drummond Culinary Academy at Rancho Cielo to prepare the memorable world-class meal paired with wines from Joseph Phelps Vineyards. Rancho Cielo provides challenged youth education, training, counseling and life skills development in a safe, affirming environment. Foundation Table Sommeliers worked in support of the Roots Fund, dedicated to empowering Black, Indigenous and People of Color in the wine industry. A special thanks to our event sponsor Eden 8 Foundation for their support of Monterey County youth. Pebble Beach Food & Wine The 2025 Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival, held in April across the scenic Pebble Beach Resorts, returned for the second year with renewed energy after a five-year hiatus — drawing over 135 chefs, 150 wineries and spirits brands, and 8,500 guests for more than 30 events set against California’s iconic coastal backdrop. Hosted by Pebble Beach Company Foundation, the festival not only delivered worldclass culinary experiences, but also generated significant support for Monterey County’s youth, with ticket revenues furthering the Foundation’s mission in literacy, education, mental health and family services. Other charitable partners included the Roots Fund and James Beard Foundation. By merging indulgence with purpose, the event cements Pebble Beach’s role as both a premier epicurean destination and a catalyst for community empowerment, enriching the local economy and fueling long‑term social benefits.
