We strive to make each visit Whole Foods Market Beverly Hills a pleasant experience and one in which you will learn about new foods or new ways to prepare food.  To that end our Calendar of Events includes several fun and educational activities each month.

The first Tuesday of every month: COOKING FOR YOUR WHOLE BODY

We are launching a new cooking series that we are starting on the first Tuesday of every month: COOKING FOR YOUR WHOLE BODY.  In this series we will address various health subjects and how to utilize food for health and vitality.  Conducted by Chef Alexx Guevara, certified sports nutrition and conditioning specialist from the American College of Sports Medicine, this monthly series will feature the information, the foods and the products that contribute to your overall health.  As well, he will address specific health issues and dietary restrictions through cooking.

The last Tuesday of every month THE ART OF CHEESE

Whether you want to impress your guests or increase your own knowledge and pleasure of cheeses, this class is for you!  Each monthly class will feature a selection of our fine artisan and gourmet cheeses including how to taste, buy, serve and enjoy them.  You will get recommendations on how to pair the cheeses with wine and other foods to best complement them.  As an extra added bonus, all participants will take home a mini cheese platter of all the cheeses featured.  Join us!

(Please note, pre-registration is recommended as seating is limited.)

The last Wednesday of every month WINE TASTING

The last Wednesday of every month will be devoted to sampling some of our excellent wines.  Wine specialists will be on hand at each tasting to talk about the wines and to answer any questions.

(Please note, pre-registration is recommended as seating is limited.)

Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. FREE COOKING CLASSES  

Chef Alexx Guevara graduated the highly regarded California School of Culinary Arts Le Cordon Blue Program and is a certified sports nutrition and conditioning specialist from the American College of Sports Medicine.

  The Art of Cheese - American Artisan Cheeses

  6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. $10

  "American Cheese" has become synonymous with processed cheese that contains many additives. Indeed, the term "American cheese" even has a legal definition for a type of pasteurized processed cheese.  We think it's a bad rap.  True American-made cheese from artisans in California, through Wisconsin produce many fantastic award-winning cheeses.  Let us introduce you to the delectable varieties available, just in time for your 4th of July picnics, parties and barbeques.

  Wine Tasting – Wines Perfect for Picnics and Barbeques

  6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. $15

  We hope to inspire summer-lust in style by introducing vino that is perfect for packing with your picnic and vino that is best for your barbeque - two distinctly different choices. With perfect California weather find a nice tree in a beautiful meadow next to a bubbling stream and choose a crisp, refreshing white.  A perfect accompaniment for picnic fare. Barbecue flavors are bold and require a wine that is going to stand up to them.  Deep reds with spicy undertones are often the choice for that summer evening barbeque.

  Whether you have season tickets to the Hollywood Bowl or just plan on having an outdoor barbeque, we have the perfect selection of easy, drinkable wines. Join us on the patio of the beautiful Crescent Hotel & Restaurant, 403 North Crescent Drive, one block North of the Beverly Hills Whole Foods Market to discover the perfect summer wine.

  (To RSVP call (310)274-3360 or email ellen.prager@wholefoods.com.)
