More space with 3 Tents:

We added more space- 3 tents, each color-coded and clearly marked with Entry Times.

Mystery Judges:

We have decided to add Mystery Judges to simplify and find the 2025 Datil Fest Champions in each category!

15 Minute Cooling Off and Re-staging Time:

We added a 15 min cooling off for both the culinary teams and the attendees tongues! Taste Badge Holders have 45 minutes per tent (3X10 stations each) to sample one item per station. Beginning at the top of the each hour, attendees enter the next tent which is Time & Color coded for simplicity.

Last year's Culinary Event "Sell-Out" was a huge success! We received great feedback and are making a few changes to make this year's event even better!

Get ready to sample up to 30 of the most creative and datilicious infused culinary creations!

Your Color-Coded Ticket/Badge = Your Tasting Schedule - Each attendee has received one color-coded badge: Orange, Green, or VIP Black. Your badge determines your entry time into each tent, where you’ll sample savory, sweet, and drink creations made with the legendary datil pepper, including Berndt Ends datil infused hog.

The Berndt End’s VIP Experience will begin at noon in the Black Tent where the Berndt Ends BBQ Team led by the multiple award-winning Datil Whole Hog Chef, Shaine Berndt, will explain in detail the (Berndt) ends and outs of Smoking a Datil Pepper injected Whole Hog.
