Southern California Tasting & Auction at Cal Poly Pomona – Wine, dine and make a difference in higher education. The event, which funds scholarships and academic enrichment, takes place Sunday, May 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the picturesque setting of the rose garden and the Aratani Japanese Garden. Guests will enjoy food and wine tasting, entertainment, live and silent auctions, and will receive a commemorative wine glass. Fun "tasting awards" will also be introduced for both partners and guests to participate!
Award-winning Chef and Cal Poly Pomona alumnus Mark Peel will make a special appearance as a celebrity tasting judge. Peel, a Collins College graduate, is a leader in the California food revolution, co-founding the La Brea Bakery, and establishing Campanile, a Los Angeles restaurant that served market-inspired cuisine for 23 years. Peel is now working on Campanile LAX which will open in July in Terminal 4.
“Mark Peel’s food tastes like the California sunshine.” — Wolfgang Puck
