Sip and Savor Under the Stars: The Desmond’s Rooftop Wine Dinner

We’ve got the inside scoop on San Diego’s most exclusive wine event! The Desmond is joining forces with the San Diego Food + Wine Festival for an unforgettable evening. We’re talking about the inaugural The Desmond on the Roof Winemaker Dinner, set on the stunning fourth-floor rooftop of the Kimpton Alma.

This isn’t just any dinner—it’s a celebration of award-winning Justin Vineyards wines paired with an exquisite five-course feast. This is one night you won’t want to miss.

Culinary Delights Meet Paso Robles’ Finest

Chef Aldo Negrete is pulling out all the stops with a menu that’s making our mouths water. We’re talking Wood-Roasted Octopus paired with Justin Pinot Noir, and a Whole Spit-Roasted Bone-In Pork Loin that’ll have us dreaming for days. And don’t even get us started on the Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for dessert!

It gets better. Master Sommelier Joseph Spellman himself will be there to guide us through each pairing. This guy’s not just any wine expert—he’s been named “Best Sommelier in the World in French Wines and Spirits.” Talk about drinking with the stars!
