Punta Mita, Nayarit, Mexico - The Punta Mita Gourmet and Golf Classic, an annual celebration of world-class food, wine, and golf, returns to Riviera Nayarit April 3rd-6th. The event will allow you to experience the best of local and international food and wine and the opportunity to play Jack Nicklaus' world class courses.

After the smashing success of the three past editions of this festival, organizers are working even harder this year to create a fabulous event that marries the sophisticated worlds of culinary excellence and championship golf in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world: Punta Mita, located at the northern tip of Banderas Bay on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit.

The Gourmet & Golf Classic is quickly becoming an iconic tradition in the gastronomic and golf world. In previous years, more than 200 visitors from around the world took part in this celebration and immersed themselves in the culture, sport, and splendor of 'Mexico's Pacific Treasure' - Riviera Nayarit.

This year, the Classic is thrilled to announce the return of LPGA legend and former top female golfer in the world, Mexico's own Lorena Ochoa, who will be an honored guest at the event. She will even lead a golf clinic on the first day, sharing with us the techniques and other secrets that led her to worldwide success.

Festivities include gourmet meals and cooking courses taught by renowned chefs and restaurateurs from around the globe, wine and tequila tastings by famed sommeliers, tequila masters and winemakers, elegant Galas and Midnight Suppers, and The Punta Mita Cup - a two-day, prize-laden golf tournament on the property’s prestigious Jack Nicklaus signature courses.
