Cataloochee Ranch
Maggie Valley, NC

Join us at Cataloochee Ranch, a Relais & Chateaux resort at the southeastern border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, for an outstanding supper highlighting the Ranch’s culinary team, paired with exceptional Billecart-Salmon Champagne and Chappellet wines.

Friends of James Beard Supper at Cataloochee Ranch is part of the Friends of James Beard Benefit series; events hosted by generous people, businesses, and organizations outside of JBF that provide critical funding for our programs. Each event supports our mission to champion a standard of Good Food for Good® anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability.
