Ojai Food & Wine Festival 2026

Written By Companion Hospitality

Another wonderful weekend at Ojai Food & Wine. This year, Chef Daisy joined Stephanie Mutz, Alice Anderson (Amevive), and Jon Yao (Kato) for a conversation about California and what makes it such a compelling place to source and cook from.

Nick Priedite of Priedite BBQ also spent an afternoon at The Farmhouse, cooking alongside a lineup of barbecue legends.

Thank you to Ben Kephart and the team at Ojai Valley Inn for hosting such a thoughtful event and taking such great care of everyone involved. We’re also grateful to Food & Wine and OpenTable for supporting the weekend, and to Jono Pandolfi for the beautiful tableware.
