Join heavyweight artists, chefs and vintners for five days of decadence and delightfully good fun. Sample the libations of 170 wineries and spirits producers plus a cornucopia of culinary creations from 70 of San Diego's most acclaimed chefs & restaurants. Festivities kick off with a Wine Rave on Wednesday followed by cooking classes, wine tasting classes, wine dinners and a reserve & new release tasting. The pièce de résistance of the Festival is Saturday's Grand Tasting Event. Closing ceremonies on Sunday consist of a Celebrity Chef Luncheon and Big Bottle Auction.
