Stars of Food & Wine Awards at Luther Burbank Center for the Arts celebrates the people and organizations driving excellence, innovation, and community impact across agriculture, food, wine, and sustainability. Hosted by Clark Wolf, the evening begins with sparkling wine and small bites, followed by a tasting of local beverages, a seated dinner, and the awards ceremony.

The event honors leaders and visionaries whose work supports a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future. Each nominee reflects a commitment to the “triple bottom line”—people, planet, and prosperity—demonstrating how environmental responsibility and economic vitality can grow together. Proceeds benefit NorCal Public Media and its PBS, NPR, and independent journalism programs, including the award-winning initiatives of the Center for Environmental Reporting.
