One of the largest and most celebrated culinary events on the West Coast, San Diego Food + Wine Festival will be held from November 2nd through 10th, offering an epic array of over 800 incredible wines and spirits.
The award-winning festival is an iconic coastal celebration of wine, food and culture with hundreds of wineries, 70+ celebrated chefs, farmers and fisherman on the line up. The week includes more than 20 gourmet-infused experiences as well as their signature festival event during the Grand Weekend celebration.
The festival honors the influence of Latin, Asian and BIPOC cultures on Southern California’s exploding food and beverage scene, uniting top chefs from both sides of the US-Mexico border. Renowned culinary talents from Food Network and Top Chef will join chefs honored by Michelin, James Beard Awards, and the World’s 50 Best Restaurants & Bars.

This year, the San Diego Food & Wine Festival has partnered with esteemed organizations like the James Beard Foundation — a nonprofit celebrating America’s food culture and advocating for equitable standards in the restaurant industry — and Food Tank, a dynamic nonprofit community focused on transforming food production and consumption.
Together, they elevate the festival’s philanthropic efforts for their 20th year, which have already raised over $600,000 for culinary, oenology, and hospitality scholarships and grants, supporting a sustainable and inclusive future for the food industry.
