Start with one event and its location
The organizer and Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board list Festival Gourmet for November 12–22, 2026. The organizer's program spans Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and Tepic. Begin by deciding where you want to spend the evening, then choose an event in that destination. If your plan is a Puerto Vallarta dinner, check that the venue is actually listed there before arranging the rest of your day. This is a planning guide, not a dining review.
Compare an opening celebration with a seated dinner
The announced program offers two useful Puerto Vallarta examples to compare: the November 12 opening night at TierraLuna Gardens, Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa, starts at 7 p.m. and is listed at MXN 2,200. A Chef's Table at Tintoque is listed for November 14 at 7 p.m. Treat these as different outings to investigate. Read the individual event description for the format you prefer; the program alone does not establish the full menu or what every ticket includes.
Read the booking details before paying
Each event is booked separately through the organizer's online shop. Before purchasing, confirm the date, venue, current price, inclusions and any conditions on the specific listing. Ask about dietary needs directly rather than assuming a festival-wide menu. Leave time around the booking and decide how you will return. We have not confirmed remaining seats, tasted the food or verified a new restaurant opening. Follow the organizer's current program for changes rather than treating this overview as a reservation.
