Welcome to a gastronomic journey that will transform your event into an unforgettable experience! From the kitchen of the Valle del Pacífico Events Center, we are excited to share how our gastronomic services can elevate the experience of your attendees.
In the world of events, it is not just about offering food and beverages; it is about creating memorable moments that linger in the minds and palates of your attendees. Here, we understand the importance of this premise and strive to make every event a unique experience.
As mentioned in previous posts, at the Valle del Pacífico Events Center, we firmly believe that details are the key to any successful event. In this context, gastronomy plays an essential role, allowing us to explore and fuse the authentic flavors of Valle del Cauca, thereby elevating the experience of our attendees to an extraordinary level. Throughout this year, we have had the privilege of providing a total of 45,437 gastronomic services. Our Head of Gastronomic Experiences emphasizes the importance of presenting our region through the flavors of the Pacific, taking our guests on a culinary journey that celebrates the richness of our local culture.
It’s not just about offering a meal; it’s about providing your guests with an experience that reflects the richness of our region and gives that authentic and regional touch that sets us apart. Every gastronomic element we present is an opportunity to captivate the senses and make your guests feel truly welcome in a region that enchants.

Moments shared around food and beverages create an environment conducive to conversation, networking, and the establishment of valuable connections. Each dish served and each sip of a drink can open the door to new collaborations and business or academic opportunities.
Coffee Break: More Than Just a Pause
The Coffee Break, whether in the morning or afternoon, is not just a pause but a boost for productivity and concentration. Providing quality coffee and snacks shows genuine care for the well-being of attendees and can make a difference in the effectiveness of your event, creating connections and conversations that last long after the event.
CEVP Recommendation:
Pandebono, a delight at any time of the day, whether at dawn with an exquisite coffee or at dusk. Here, we invite you to savor this emblematic cheese bread, a culinary gem that encapsulates the essence of our region.
Lunches and Dinners: Flavors That Connect
Meals at an event are not just a necessity; they are an opportunity. The careful selection of proteins and side dishes can transform a meal into a strategic dialogue space.
CEVP Recommendation:
We recommend a dish that takes you on a journey of flavors. Such as semi-cured pork leg with panela, citrus honey, ginger, and tulsi. This protein could be accompanied by mashed potatoes with Greek yogurt and confit garlic, basil mojo, and a braised vegetable ratatouille.
Appetizers: Stimulating Creativity
Appetizers, regardless of their category, are an opportunity to stimulate creativity and innovation. These small bites can inspire conversations and help break down barriers, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas among attendees.
CEVP Recommendation:
Lulada: a regional delicacy made from the juice of lulo, a fruit with a citrus character that provides a refreshing and bittersweet experience for the palate.
Chontaduro, a native fruit, offers an additional delight when enjoyed with a touch of salt and honey, a combination of flavors that captivates the senses.
Coffee Stations: Energy and Sweetness
At our stations, beyond offering a hot cup of coffee, we are committed to excellence and supporting coffee growers. At the Valle del Pacífico Events Center, we understand that each attendee values the quality of coffee and the diversity of preparation methods. Typically, a person consumes between 3 and 4 cups during an event, and this is where our dedication becomes evident.
Our coffee is a sensory experience that pays homage to its roots in the coffee estates of Valle del Cauca. The irresistible aromas and exquisite flavors not only revitalize but provide a unique pleasure.
Gastronomy plays a fundamental role in the event industry, and its impact is undeniable. Beyond satisfying attendees’ appetites, food and beverages have the power to completely transform the event experience. They are a vehicle for cultural expression and creativity, creating sensory memories that linger in the minds and palates of participants.
The choice of menus, the presentation of dishes, and the quality of flavors not only reflect attention to detail but can also influence brand perception, strengthen relationships, and turn an event into an unforgettable moment. In short, gastronomy in the event industry is much more than a basic necessity; it is a strategic tool to captivate, impress, and leave a lasting impression on the hearts and minds of attendees.
At the Valle del Pacífico Events Center, we understand that every bite and every sip is designed to create gastronomic memories that your attendees will treasure. Our mission is to turn each event into an opportunity to delight the senses and bring people together through the magic of Pacific Colombian cuisine.
We are ready to collaborate with you to create unique moments that your guests will appreciate and remember for a long time. Let us be part of the culinary experience that will strengthen your business relationships and make your event a success.
