Get Ready for a Flavor Explosion at San Diego Food + Wine Festival

We’re raising our glasses to something special, San Diego! One of our city’s most anticipated culinary events, the San Diego Bay Wine + Food Festival, is turning 20, and it’s bringing the heat with an absolutely mouthwatering lineup that’ll have food lovers swooning from Oceanside to Otay Mesa.

A Feast for All Your Senses

Let’s talk numbers that’ll make your taste buds dance: hundreds of world-class wineries, more than 80 culinary masters, and enough gourmet experiences to fill an entire month of date nights.

This isn’t just any food festival—it’s a Forbes and Wine Spectator-approved celebration that’s put our sunny corner of California on the global culinary map.

Star-Studded Sips and Bites

The Friends of James Beard Foundation Opening Night: Grand Decant kicks off November 8 with some serious flair. Charlotte Randolph (yes, the first-ever Michelin Sommelier of the Year) is hosting this wine lover’s paradise, where you’ll find everything from Napa Valley’s finest to New Zealand’s hidden gems.

Spring for the Grand Decant LUX ticket and you’ll get early access to those extra-special bottles, plus caviar and dishes from rockstar chefs like Tara Monsod and Drew Deckman.

Cross-Border Magic

The Grand Fiesta (November 10) is where the real party happens. Think live performances, stunning art installations, and the kind of tacos that make you question everything you thought you knew about food.

Casey Webb from Man vs. Food is hosting an “Oyster Sunday” complete with a shucking showdown that’s sure to be epic.

San Diego's most anticipated culinary event

More Than Just a Food Fest

Between the wine tastings and restaurant takeovers, this festival is serving up some serious food for thought. The Food Tank Summit (November 2) brings legends like Alice Waters to discuss the future of good food, while the Culinary Cinema Series lets us geek out over food films with fellow food lovers.

So, don’t miss one of San Diego’s most anticipated culinary event of the year, the San Diego Bay Wine + Food Festival!
