Interactive Food & Wine Events Make for Unforgettable Experiences
LAS VEGAS – Bellagio, the recipient of nine consecutive AAA Five Diamond Awards for excellence, presents the extraordinary and palate-pleasing Epicurean Epicenter series. This collection of unique, interactive culinary experiences, set against the backdrop of Bellagio’s world-famous restaurants and the one-of-a-kind Tuscany Kitchen, is designed to give guests a firsthand look at how Bellagio’s award-winning chefs and sommeliers create culinary magic.
At Epicurean Epicenter events, guest will marvel as they watch talented chefs prepare their meal and minutes later are able to savor the cuisine paired with some of the world’s finest vintages. The 1,170-square-foot Tuscany Kitchen serves as the set for most Epicurean Epicenter events. This state-of-the-art demo kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line Viking equipment and the latest technology. Three cameras, positioned above the prep stations and stove tops, capture shots of the chefs at work and broadcast them over 60-inch plasma screens which are mounted above the cooking area for easy viewing. This, paired with the opportunity to interact live with Bellagio’s unparalleled culinary talent, creates an environment unlike any other for total immersion in the fine dining experience.
