DEL MAR WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL

Description

The Grand Tasting is where the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival comes to life.

Set across the beautiful fields of Surf Sports Park, guests spend the afternoon wandering through a celebration of San Diego and Baja’s vibrant food, wine, and coastal culture. More than 100 chefs and restaurants prepare signature bites alongside over 150 wineries, breweries, distilleries, and beverage makers, creating an experience designed to be explored one delicious stop at a time.

Every path leads to something unexpected—a conversation with a chef, a perfectly paired glass of wine, live music drifting through the festival, or a new favorite cocktail shared with friends. Discover thoughtfully curated experiences like Taco Alley, Plant Paradise, Big Queer Food Fest, The Beach, and Locals, each celebrating the people, flavors, and creativity that make this region unlike anywhere else.

The Grand Tasting is unhurried by design. It’s a place to linger over incredible food, meet the makers behind the brands, cheer on local chefs, dance between tastings, and soak in the energy of a community brought together by a shared love of hospitality.

For guests seeking an elevated experience, VIP admission offers early access, exclusive culinary experiences, premium pours, and inviting lounge spaces that make it easy to relax, connect, and savor every moment.

Whether you’re discovering a new restaurant, toasting with longtime friends, or simply enjoying an afternoon under the Southern California sun, the Grand Tasting is a celebration of everything that makes San Diego one of the world’s great food destinations.
