Don't Wait Until Car Week — Book Your Corporate Hospitality Catering Now
July 27, 2026

Monterey Car Week — anchored by the legendary Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance — is the single most concentrated corporate hospitality opportunity on the California calendar. The audience is affluent, international, and deeply invested in the quality of every experience surrounding the event. The vendors, caterers, and private venues that do this week well book out months in advance.
This is your reminder: Coastal Roots Events & Catering still has availability — but not for long.
Why Car Week Hospitality Demands a Different Level of Catering
The Pebble Beach crowd does not grade on a curve. Client dinners, brand hospitality suites, VIP receptions, and private estate gatherings during Car Week are measured against a standard set by some of the finest hospitality operations in the world. A caterer who treats Car Week like any other weekend will not meet that standard.
We do.
Our culinary team — the same team behind Michelin 2026-recognized restaurants — builds Car Week menus around the full range of what our kitchens produce at their best. For a VIP client dinner, picture opening with Wagyu Carpaccio — chimichurri aioli, shallots, crispy capers, manchego, and toast points from our Rio Grill kitchen — followed by an Almond Wood-Grilled Certified Prime Ribeye with asiago whipped potatoes and green peppercorn demi-glace. These are not generic event plates. They are the dishes that have built a thirty-year reputation on this Peninsula.
For larger hospitality events, our Chef's Carving Station — sea salt crusted prime rib with horseradish crème fraîche, carved tableside — is the signature centerpiece that instantly communicates the level of event your guests are attending.
