Morgan Hill celebrated its growing food-and-wine scene with the return of the MOHI Food & Wine Festival, an annual event hosted by renowned chef Charlie Palmer in partnership with Léal Hospitality and Appellation.

The event featured dishes from acclaimed chefs including Neal Fraser, Duskie Estes, Bryan Voltaggio, and Shane McAnelly, paired with wines from notable producers such as Duckhorn and Chandon. Guests enjoyed live music, an artisan marketplace, and a range of tasting experiences— from general admission to VIP offerings with premium bites like caviar and oysters.
Beyond the indulgence, the festival supports a meaningful cause. Proceeds benefit culinary and hospitality programs within the Morgan Hill Unified School District, with local students volunteering on-site and gaining hands-on experience in a real-world setting.
Blending“ approachable luxury” with a strong sense of purpose, the MOHI Food & Wine Festival continues to spotlight Morgan Hill as an emerging culinary destination— while investing in the next generation of hospitality professionals and building excitement for the future Hotel MOHI.
