Imagine a whirlwind two-week Los Cabos vacation filled with incredible food, spectacular wines, awe-inspiring surroundings, and live entertainment from world-class musicians. 
Now imagine the entire action-packed endeavor telescoped into the space of a single evening. If you can wrap your mind around that, then you’re either ready for the Sabor a Cabo food and wine festival, or you’ve already experienced one.
The 11th edition of “Sabor a Cabo (in English, “Taste of Cabo”) returns Dec. 10, and as always is organized by CANIRAC, the local restaurant association.
In keeping with recent momentum, the event just keeps getting bigger and better. This year over 50 top regional chefs will showcase their delicious dishes at the Sculpture Garden at Puerto Los Cabos, with the first-class fare paired with bottled offerings from over 20 peninsular wineries in a magnificent seaside setting.
Did I mention the most famous Mexican rock band of all-time will be performing?
That would be Maná, winner of four Grammy Awards and eight Latin Grammys, and generator of over 40 million in record sales worldwide. The Guadalajaran quartet has been called “the U2 of Spanish rock,” and regularly sells out large arenas. As such, their appearance in Los Cabos is a huge deal, and has inspired a tremendous demand for tickets to what was already the premier Land’s End culinary festival.
No wonder ticket prices this year range from $200 to $350 for V.I.P. seating.
The money goes to a good cause, however, with proceeds benefitting fire fighters in cape cities Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.
Although Sabor a Cabo is unquestionably the headliner, auxiliary to-dos are also organized by CANIRAC: most notably, a Beer Fest, a Country Food and Wine Tasting, and an Art and Wine Walk in San Jose del Cabo’s historic Distrito del Arte.
The Beer Fest is expanding to a three-day event this year, and will take place Nov. 18 – 20 on the boardwalk promenade that parallels the Cabo San Lucas Marina. The Country Food and Wine Tasting will take place on Dec. 4 at Los Tamarindos, an organic farm and restaurant that, like neighbor Flora Farms, has helped pioneer the farm-to-table movement in Los Cabos.
