The Coral Gables Community Foundation is excited to announce the 14th Annual Tour of Kitchens which benefits the foundation’s pivotal outreach efforts, including the Culinary Arts program and its students at Coral Gables High School. Guests will be inspired by Coral Gables’ most exquisite private residence kitchens, indulge in bites from the city’s top restaurants, sample spirits and shop for curated home goods from local merchants. Join us later for the closing after-party and unwind with live music and food.
We regret that we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs or strollers. Children 10 and older are not permitted without a ticket. We highly discourage the attendance of children under 10 due to the nature of the event. Alcohol will be served to adults 21 and older only. Smoking and pets are not permitted in or around the stops.

The tour begins at 9 a.m. with the opening event/registration in the courtyard at the Shops at Merrick Park. Registration ends at 11 a.m.
Here, you will check in to receive your wristband – required to enter each home – and the Tour of Kitchens program booklet, which contains the map and addresses of all the Tour stops. Parking is available in the garage at Merrick Park. Metered parking is also available on the surrounding streets.
The homes on the tour open at 10 a.m. The opening event/registration is from 9 to 11 a.m.
At 10 a.m., you may begin visiting the stops in any order you choose until 2:30 p.m. Each stop will contain a decadent food sample from a local restaurant, kitchen-related items for sale, and a stunning table-setting display for dining room inspiration.
Nope! You can check in at the opening event at the Shops at Merrick Park with your email confirmation or just your name. You will then receive your wristband. It is important to keep your wristband on all day as you will not be granted entry into any of the stops without your wristband.
