Known to bring people together with personalized culinary experiences across the globe, local chef Gabe Bertaccini and his "Chef’s Den" will be one of highlights of eight luxurious homes. Other notable features during the self-guided tour will include a 1.5 acre, private villa boasting a timeless French rural flair that’s been featured in both House Beautiful and Phoenix Home & Garden magazines, a contemporary glass retreat of a home nestled against the head of Camelback Mountain that has its own private trailhead for hiking, and a fabulous 3-acre estate with an amazing 20-car garage.
Paid guests will be emailed the addresses and details of each location for driving convenience along with additional details about the tour day. On Nov. 4, event day, guests may begin the self-guided tour from any location and enjoy each location at your own pace. Guests will be greeted by volunteers at each location who will be available to answer any questions about the property.
