Dubbed as ‘The Worlds only Gourmet Music Festival’ Outside Lands just announced their 2016 Food & Drink line-up and they’re not playing games. As impressive as Coachella’s Food/Drink line-up was Outside Lands feels like it plays better with what they have. In their ninth annual edition, they’ll feature options like: Outside Clams, A Taste of the Bay area, Cheese Lands, Wine Lands, Beer Lands, and Gastromagic. Um, whoa! In total, there are 80 restaurants, 40 wineries, and 28 breweries. Talk about being Trailblazers, eh?
The vendors are divided into serval categories with Outside Clams being this years newest arrival and hosted by festival veterans Woodhouse Fish Co. Outside Clams will offer a variety of options including raw and BBQ oysters, lobster rolls, and the always delicious clam chowder. They’ll also be conveniently located next to Wine Lands, for all you pair heads.
If you like Wine & Cheese than Cheese Lands is probably where you’ll find yourself outside of Wine Lands. Cheese Lands is set to expand this year, with expert artisans ready to serve up some ooey-gooey cheesiness. Expect servings of Raclette Cheese, loaves of fresh baked bread, cheeses by the dozen, and charcuterie selections. All curated by Thalassa Skinner of Culture, America’s magazine for cheese lovers.
Maybe the best part of this all will be concluded with a trip to Choco Land. Vendors like Guittard Chocolate Co., Kara’s Cupcakes, Sharona’s Chocolate Shop, Candybar by Dessert Lounge, Epic Cookies, and The Creme Brulee Cart will make up all of the chocolatey menu.
The festival’s wildly popular culinary personality soars to even greater heights with GastroMagic, a one-of-a-kind stage devoted to fantastical entertainment in the way of star personalities, food, cocktails, comedy, improv, music, and of course, sorcery. The GastroMagic lineup will be shared in the coming weeks.
That concludes the entire Food/Drink experience set to take stage at Outside Lands this year. If you find yourself scouring the grounds, be sure to go out of your comfort zone and try new things. It’s what will make the experience unforgettable. It’s easy to wanna enjoy something you’re accustomed to, but we’re here to assure you that new experiences, especially culinary ones, are the most unforgettable. Also, don’t forget to share all your Outside Lands food with us on Instagram and tag us. We’ll be reposting photo’s all weekend long. For complete vendor lineup, check below.
