Get Ready for a Flavor Explosion at San Diego Food + Wine Festival
Get ready for one of San Diego’s most anticipated culinary event of the year! The Food + Wine Festival is back, ready to transform our coastal paradise into a food and wine lover’s dream.
We’re talking hundreds of wineries, 80+ culinary masters, and enough gourmet experiences to make your taste buds think they’ve died and gone to heaven.
Wine and Dine in Style
The Friends of James Beard Foundation Opening Night: Grand Decant is kicking things off with serious swagger. We’re getting treated to a world-class tasting experience featuring award-winning bottles from everywhere that matters in the wine world—from Napa Valley to New Zealand, Temecula to Portugal.
And for those ready to level up their wine game, the exclusive Grand Decant LUX (limited to just 50 lucky souls) offers early access to those impossible-to-find vintages and grower champagnes, plus caviar and celebrity chef stations.
Did we mention it’s hosted by Charlotte Randolph, the first-ever Michelin Sommelier of the Year?
Your Food Adventure Awaits
The Grand Tasting on Saturday, November 9, is basically the Super Bowl of San Diego food events.
Pro tip: VIP and Early Entry tickets disappear faster than free samples at Costco, so don’t sleep on securing your spot at this waterfront feast.
Cross-Border Flavors
The festival wraps up with Grand Fiesta, a celebration that perfectly captures our city’s vibrant cross-border spirit. Live music sets the mood while you explore Mexican wines and spirits, and yes, there will be tacos. So. Many. Tacos.
Beyond the Big Events
This festival isn’t just about the marquee moments. Dive into wine tastings that’ll make you forget about your usual happy hour spot, snag a seat at exclusive restaurant takeovers, and level up your culinary game with master classes led by the industry’s finest.
For the adventurous souls, special expedition events promise bucket-list worthy experiences that could only happen in San Diego. And when the sun sets? The party’s just getting started with late-night events that prove foodies know how to have a good time.
