San Diego Food + Wine Festival’s Grand Tasting at the Port of San Diego

About the Event

The awe-inspiring San Diego Bay plays host to the San Diego Food + Wine Festival’s Grand Tasting at the Port of San Diego, a picture perfect celebration of everything delicious. The Grand Tasting is the city’s biggest foodie party of the year, featuring celebrated chefs and restaurants, domestic and international wine, beer and spirit purveyors, and gourmet food companies amidst a stunning coastal backdrop with sailboats floating by.

Indulge in a gastronomic playground of opportunity with over 200 wineries, breweries and spirit purveyors to sip from and over 80 of the West Coast and Baja’s top chefs and restaurants serving up creative and diverse cuisine to taste through.

Experience gourmet foods, art, live musical entertainment, and the thrilling “Chef of the Fest Competition,” an action-packed culinary showdown where chefs battle it out for your vote to be crowned “2024 People’s Choice – Chef of the Fest”, earn bragging rights for a year, a plaque to prove it, and up to $5,000 in cash and prizes.

With more than 300 brands participating over the course of the week, the 2024 San Diego Bay Wine + Food Festival is destined to be the biggest and most spectacular in our 20 year history. We love a good surprise, but this year’s lineup is so good, you have to see it to believe it. Feast your eyes and preview the bites, sips, and brands participating during our Grand Weekend.
