A group of chefs will each prepare a 175 pound heritage breed hog from head to toe for this friendly competition. Guests and local judges will determine a winner based on presentation, utilization and overall best flavor. In addition, five selected winemakers will showcase their wines. COCHON 555 is a tribute to heritage and heirloom breeds, chefs and winemakers.

VIP: Included in VIP is a very unique engagement with West Sonoma Coast Vintners (Failla, Peay, Red Car, Freestone, Freeman, Ramey). Start the celebration early during the VIP experience with butcher demo with Lindy & Grundy (hint hint they just opened the best new butcher shop in the entire USA) as they are cutting up a KuneKune from Lori Enright's KuneKune Preservation Project, guests will also enjoy an artisan cheese, caviar and oysters. Reserve wines, Eagle Rock Brew and a welcome cocktail from St. Germain. Each VIP ticket comes with early entry to beat the rush on the main floor.

MAIN FLOOR: Each event provides pig-loving epicureans with a sampling of pork dishes paired with wines from five different small wineries as well as a beautiful selection from Austrian Wine and Turley Wine, and of course the opportunity to help select the “Prince or Princess of Porc.” and whom will be going to the nationals. The winning dishes are chosen by the audience and a panel of 20 expert judges in each city. The action keeps going when two butchers face off in a showcase of skills and speed. Additionally, guests will be treated to whole pig breakdown demonstrations, followed by a whole roasted heritage breed pig and dessert. Bacon Hall of Fame will host the after party at Public Kitchen and Bar.

This event was created to celebrate heritage pigs and to promote breed diversity in local and national communities.
