The first year of Del Mar Wine + Food Festival was a runaway success! So let’s do it again.
Six days of immersive culinary experiences and sold-out dinners across San Diego. An all-star lineup of the city’s top chefs, plus chef friends from Food Network and Top Chef and all the TV places. Over 200 curated wines and drinks brands. Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. Alex Morgan. Drew Brees. Rob Machado. A celebrity pickleball tournament that nearly stole the show. All the things—raising $25,000 for Feeding San Diego.
Over 8,000 people came out for the debut. Over 6,000 joined us for the main show—the two-day Grand Tasting held under the SoCal sun on an epic stretch of grass by the sea, Surf Sports Park.
2024 will be even better. Get your tickets now. Book a flight. Come experience it. Buy a condo. Uproot your life.
See you in Del Mar.
