THE PREMIERE CULINARY EVENT IN ORANGE COUNTY IS COMING…and it’s time to RELISH IN it!
RELISH Food, Wine & Spirits Experience was co-founded by Celebrity Chef Jamie Gwen and Celebrity Event Planner Nicole Hirsty, founder of Cobalt Events. Lifelong friends and creative collaborators, the two visionaries created RELISH as an elevated celebration of exceptional cuisine, world-class wine and spirits, immersive design, and meaningful connection.
Blending Jamie’s renowned culinary expertise and industry relationships with Nicole’s signature talent for producing extraordinary experiences, RELISH has become one of Southern California’s most anticipated luxury culinary weekends. Together, they have crafted more than an event—they have created a sophisticated and unforgettable gathering where food, hospitality, entertainment, and inspired storytelling come together.
