Highlands Culinary Week is a celebration of flavor, creativity, and community—bringing together the restaurants, chefs, wine shops, and specialty purveyors that make Highlands a true culinary destination.

Set in the heart of the mountains at 4,118 feet, this long weekend experience invites locals and visitors alike to explore the town through its most defining element: its food, drinks, & music . From thoughtfully curated tasting menus and exclusive offerings to pop-up events and wine tastings, each experience is designed to showcase the depth, diversity, and talent of our local hospitality community.

The woman is holding a fork. There is a glass of red wine on the table, along with a plate of steak and greens, and a small plant in the background.

More than just a promotion, Highlands Culinary Week is an opportunity for guests to discover new favorites, revisit beloved spots, and experience the collaborative spirit that defines this town. For participating businesses, it’s a chance to connect with new audiences, highlight seasonal menus, and be part of something larger than any one restaurant alone.

As this is our inaugural year, the foundation is simple: participation is accessible, collaboration is encouraged, and growth is the goal. Looking ahead, Highlands Culinary Week will continue to evolve—expanding into additional experiences, events, and partnerships that further establish Highlands as a destination for exceptional food and drink.

We’re pleased to share that our promotion is backed by a comprehensive media relations and advertising campaign spanning print, electronic, and broadcast platforms.

Presented by Stubborn Seeds Hospitality and The Laurel Magazine, HIGHLANDS CULINARY WEEK is launching in 2026, and will be featuring 4 days of events, live music, multi-course prix-fixe lunch, brunch and dinner menus.
