Escape to Alisal Ranch for a two-night culinary getaway set in the heart of California’s Santa Ynez Valley. BBQ Bootcamp is a relaxed, flavor-filled experience designed for anyone who loves great food, beautiful surroundings, and time well spent at a luxury guest ranch.

Throughout the stay, celebrated guest chefs and pitmasters take to the grill, sharing live-fire demonstrations, signature techniques, and plenty of inspiration. More than a demonstration-driven event, this experience is about savoring unforgettable meals, including lakeside dining, warm ranch hospitality, and gathering around the table to eat exceptionally well. We’re thrilled to introduce this year’s guest chef lineup, featured below, setting the stage for a stay defined by great food, thoughtful craft, and time well spent at the ranch.

Between feasts, guests can explore Alisal Ranch’s 10,500 acres, take part in classic ranch activities, or simply slow down and soak in the scenery. One evening of the weekend will feature a special live performance from acclaimed country artist Annie Bosko, adding an unforgettable highlight to the BBQ Bootcamp festivities.

This adults-only experience is ideal for couples, friends, and anyone looking to experience Alisal Ranch through the lens of food, fire, and community; no BBQ expertise required.
