Due to the wild fires that have affected the Napa and Sonoma counties in California since the early morning of October 9th, 2017, the Puratos Corporation decided to cancel the Taste Beyond Imagination Event. This event was scheduled for October 10th and 11th, 2017 at the Marriot Napa Valley hotel. A total of 100 people were scheduled to participate at the event.
We are able to confirm that all Puratos employees, customers and vendors that were scheduled to arrive on the evening of October 9th to the hotel were safely evacuated from the area.
In an effort to help the victims of the Northern California fires, all the product that was prepared for the event was donated to some of the shelters of the Napa county.
Our thoughts are with those that have been affected by the wild fires in the area.
