In partnership with the Scottsdale Culinary Festival, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa will host this prestigious annual event, beginning at sunset with hors d’oeuvres and aperitifs on the hotel’s manicured lawn overlooking ice sculptures and a serene lake. That spectacular introduction plus the six-course Italian dinner that follows promise a truly romantic, memorable evening of exquisite cuisine from the hands of true culinary artisans.
