The Great Chefs at the Robert Mondavi Winery event began in 1976 as The Great Chefs of France Cooking Course. In 1981, it was renamed The Great Chefs of France at the Robert Mondavi Winerey and featured renowned chefs teaching classes on preparing classic French cuisine followed by meals for the participants. In 1983, Mondavi expanded the program to include the Great Chefs of America as a separate series. It continues now as The Great Chefs series at the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science at the University of California, Davis.
