Del Mar Wine + Food Festival 2026 — Grand Tasting
The best conversation you will have at a tasting is with a winemaker who poured for you a while ago and is still standing there, because nobody else has walked up yet.
That happens here more than it should. An open field near the racetrack, ocean air coming over the top of it, more than fifty producers pouring alongside chefs who cook in this county all year and almost never stand shoulder to shoulder like this. Coastal California, Baja, and enough from further afield to reset your sense of what a region can taste like. A full week of smaller dinners and chef collaborations leads into it, so by the weekend the whole food community is already deep in one long conversation and you are simply joining late.
Via De La Valle in Del Mar, two days in early October, packages for one day or both.
If your way into this world is the food and not the wine, come anyway. Nobody here is going to quiz you.
