The Big List Of New Year’s Eve Parties Around San Diego
Whether you’re looking for Vegas-style nightlife or something a little more low-key, San Diego’s New Year’s Eve parties have it all!
Wilson Creek Winery’s Mobster’s Ball
Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyard is ringing in 2026 with a Mobster’s Ball that brings speakeasy style glamour to Temecula Wine Country. Slip into your best gangster or formal attire for an evening packed with dancing, live music, and serious vintage vibes.
Your ticket gets you a 4-course dinner, live band followed by a DJ spinning until after midnight, beer and wine open bar (including Family Reserve Wines), a themed photo booth, and party favors. At $250 per person ($225 for Wine Club members), it’s positioned as a premium way to celebrate if you want to make New Year’s Eve feel like a destination rather than just hitting the usual downtown bars.
The speakeasy theme gives everyone an excuse to actually dress up and lean into the occasion – none of that “I’ll just wear what I wore to work” energy.
📆 Tuesday, December 31, 8 PM – 12:30 AM
