Chef Travis Swikard

Culinary Weekend in Los Cabos

Where California Meets Cabo
October 8–10, 2026

 

 

This fall, the sun-kissed flavors of Southern California arrive on the shores of Pedregal. For one weekend only, acclaimed Chef Travis Swikard brings his celebrated Cuisine du Soleil to Los Cabos—an inspired expression of Mediterranean cooking shaped by California’s finest ingredients, the sun-soaked coasts of Europe, and the timeless culinary traditions of the Riviera.

 

Against the dramatic backdrop of Pedregal, discover a weekend of exceptional dining, elevated wine selections from one of Italy’s most celebrated wine estates, and the effortless beauty of Cabo’s coastline–where the spirit of Southern California, the elegance of the Mediterranean, and the soul of Los Cabos come together in an unforgettable celebration of cuisine, culture, and connection.

 

Throughout the weekend, his culinary vision will be complemented by the distinguished wines of Fontanafredda, presented by Fabio Bosio, and the artistry of Clase Azul—bringing together Mediterranean flavor, Piedmontese heritage, and the spirit of Mexico along Pedregal’s dramatic coastline.

Callie Restaurant

A San Diego native, Chef Travis Swikard spent more than a decade refining his craft alongside Daniel Boulud and Gavin Kaysen in New York City before returning home to open Callie.

His signature Cuisine du Soleil brings together the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean and the seasonal abundance of Southern California. Today, that vision unfolds at Callie—recognized by the MICHELIN Guide with a Bib Gourmand—and at Fleurette, his intimate La Jolla restaurant inspired by the French-Italian Riviera.
