Aspen Food & Wine Classic

Lexus served as the official automotive sponsor of The Food & Wine Classic, which took place June 13-15 around the base of Aspen Mountain in Aspen, Colorado. The event attracted approximately 5,000 attendees, including upscale food and wine industry representatives, VIPs and American Express Platinum card members. Guests were invited to take part in cooking demonstrations and wine tastings, and to listen to panel discussions hosted by top chefs and wine experts from throughout the community. At both the Grand Tasting Pavilion and the Cooking Tent, event attendees were also able to enjoy displays of both the Lexus LS 600h L luxury hybrid sedan and the RX 400h hybrid luxury utility vehicle.

Lexus also hosted a cooking seminar entitled Fungi with Three Fun Guys, a trio that included truffle farmer Tom Michaels, Armando Manni of MANNI® Olive Oils, and Stewart Woodman, star chef/restaurant owner of Heidis Minneapolis. They presented innovative ways to use truffles and truffle oil in cooking that can transform a simple meal into a sensational dish.

The partnership between Lexus and the Classic was a perfect pairing, with both entities striving for outstanding craftsmanship and dedication to quality in their respective industries. The Classics passion for creating the optimal culinary experience is similar to Lexus passion for designing and engineering the finest luxury utility vehicles and sedans.
