The event takes place Saturday, April 9 from noon-2 p.m. at the historic Biltmore Hotel.

Guests will sip Deutz Champagne while whipping up a splendid lunch at their tables led by Chef Schwartz, who will show guests how to prepare a deliciously nutty fregola risotto with shrimp, roasted corn and melted leeks to start.
