But don’t worry – you don’t need to be an art aficionado to enjoy this showcase – nor a sommelier to appreciate the variety of award-winning international wines!

There is truly something for everyone to enjoy, including over 150 juried artists from around the globe, 3D chalk art displays, interactive art murals, non-stop live music, family art center, roving entertainment, gourmet food court, and a wine, craft beer, and spirits garden featuring local brews, distilleries, and global wineries.

The iconic wine and beer garden features over 40 wineries, craft breweries, and distilleries, offering a variety of regional and international flavors.

Even pets are allowed, so bring your four-legged friends!

New this year

The Fully Expressed Foundation, a non-profit that provides workspaces and business planning to emerging artists, will host a fundraising event in the wine and beer garden. They’ll spotlight two musical acts with drinks and food available for attendees. Tickets can be purchased in advance and for sale outside of the wine and beer garden before the event starts.

All profits raised at the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival benefit underfunded programs such as art, music, science, physical education, technology, and on-site medical care at the five La Jolla public elementary, middle, and high schools.
