Slip into the moment: You’re strolling through Surf Sports Park in the fall outfit you’ve been dying to wear, maybe even snagging some handmade jewelry with rare natural gemstones from Timka Jewelry while sipping locally made hard kombucha and snacking on Michelin-starred must-try meals from San Diego restaurants. In the background, celebrity chefs mingle by small parties with DJs spinning and professional athletes passing by floral photo ops that are basically made to be framed. You pause for a wine pour that looks almost too good to drink and catch acclaimed talents like Jackson Kalb collaborating with Quixote.
This is the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival—one of SoCal’s premiere food and drink events showcasing the unique culinary experiences infused with San Diego’s fitness and wellness culture. If you’re heading to the fest this year, we put together an insider’s guide to all the standout activations at the Grand Tasting taking place from September 13 & 14. Here’s what not to miss:
Across Saturday and Sunday, festival-goers can wander the grounds to enjoy activations from sponsors like LaCroix, Landmark Vineyards, Justin Wines, and Clink. These pop-ups will be offering food and drink tastings, goodie-bags, and little surprises that make wandering the festival half the fun.
Clink will be pouring a mix of wines in the picnic area just outside the VIP tent, while Justin, Landmark, and Lewis wines will host tastings nearby. Heaven Hill Tequila Ocho and Mezcal Vago, will be outside the beach area near Feeding San Diego, and LaCroix will be available throughout the grounds with sparkling water and an Instagram-worthy floral photo-op near the Locals zone.
You can also catch San Simeon wines outside the VIP tent, Spritz in the beach area, Peroni and Blue Moon outside VIP, The Grill Dads throwing tailgate-style parties with Grillin’ Time canned cocktails flowing from branded coolers, and The Los Angeles Golf Club Dryvebox giving everyone the chance to test their swing on a golf simulator. Follow your taste buds, your camera, or your curiosity and you’re guaranteed to run into something worthy of a pause at every turn.
Exclusive Chef Collabs
Chef collabs at the Del Mar Wine + Food fest mix flavor, personalities, and a little bit of culinary chaos in the best way. After all, how often do you catch two acclaimed talents sharing the same space? On Saturday, Jackson Kalb teams up with Quixote, while Jet Tila links with Serea and Lionfish for a full-on takeover of the Culinary Comp Zone. Both days feature Fox Point partnering with Haven’s Mawa McQueen in the VIP area, while Plant Paradise joins forces with Nichols Farms and chef Zuliya Khawaja.
And this is just some of many prime celebrity-spotting opportunities. Your favorite chefs will be sprinkled all across the weekend’s lineup. Get the full lowdown on where to find them here.
Beyond the zones, the weekend features some of the best SoCal names in the food and drink industry including A+M Catering, Amalfi Cucina Italiana, Quixote, Glass Box, Rosemarie’s Buns & Brews, Bianchi Winery, Rootdown Wine Cellars, and more. Saturday brings the star power of STK Steakhouse, Jake’s Del Mar, ARLO San Diego, and Provisional Kitchen, while Sunday turns the spotlight to Lana Restaurant, Waverly, Flame & Flavor, and Seasons 52. Click here to see the full list of participating restaurants.
Kyoku Knives will also make its mark as a headline sponsor throughout the festival, with chef Jeff Roberto breaking down sushi, sashimi, and Wagyu beef during the Sushi on a Roll activation in the VIP Reception Area. He’ll be joined by Brian Malarkey (Top Chef, Herb & Wood, Animae) and Tommy “The Fishmonger” Gomes (Outdoor Channel) so be sure to get your cameras ready.
Games, DJs & Tailgates
Field games and foodie finds galore, throughout the weekend, attendees can catch some wiffle ball and classic ballpark eats at Ballpark in the Park, dive into a soccer experience with San Diego Wave FC or join tailgate enthusiasts with SDFC and DirecTV. Or, keep the celebration going with DJs spinning at the Mountain experience.
At Street Fleet Alley, find local food trucks and street food pop-ups serving their best fare. Plus, this year, Baja and Paso Robles head to San Diego to showcase their local breweries, restaurants, and lifestyle brands—keep an eye out for their activations.
Everywhere you turn, you’ll find art installations, local food, celebrity chefs, TV personalities, and unique pop-ups. It’s what the Grand Tasting is all about: living your best life, one sip, bite, and beat at a time.
Isabella Dallas is a freelance writer for San Diego Magazine and the Arts and Culture Editor at The Daily Aztec in her final year at San Diego State University. She previously worked as an editorial intern for SDM, but when she’s not writing, you can find her trying the best coffee spots in SD, devouring the latest rom-coms, and indulging in anything and everything pop culture.
Much as you’ll want to, you can’t move into Thread Spun, a sustainably minded Encinitas boutique on North Coast Highway. But you can stock up on beautifully made, thoughtfully curated homewares, apparel, accessories, personal care items, and goodies for kids to turn your own abode into the closest approximation, knowing you’re doing good in the process—Thread Spun donates two percent of its sales to charitable causes. Excellent excuse to pick up a seabuckthorn facial serum for yourself when you grab beaded coasters for your bestie’s birthday.
Best Retail Relocation
REI
Every climber’s favorite store just got fresh digs: North County’s REI moved from Encinitas to Carlsbad in the La Costa Town Square in February. The grand-opening ceremony included free camping mugs, activities, and a ribbon-chopping ceremony (starring an axe instead of scissors)—a fitting debut for an adventure-focused outpost in one of America’s outdoorsiest cities. Stop by for anything you might need to live your best life al fresco, whether that means an off-the-grid camping trip or a day at the beach with a reusable water bottle and a nice, new umbrella.

Best Spot to Source Century-Old Doorknobs
Architectural Salvage
Egyptian doors from the Napoleonic era, North Park street lamps from the early 1900s, and 100-year-old Hungarian workbenches are just a few of the eclectic treasures you’ll find at Architectural Salvage. Walking into the home and building materials shop feels like stepping into a real life I Spy book—a world of whimsy packed with storied relics. Formerly located in Little Italy, the beloved store reopened this past November in a new Barrio Logan location. Whether you’re giving an antique a second life or hunting for a hidden gem, this spot delivers surprises you didn’t know your home needed.
In February, heaven on earth for toy lovers and collectors—Replay Toys—moved from Ray Street into a newer and larger location on University Avenue in North Park. Mom of two Kim Nabours started selling her kids’ old playthings at the swap meet 14 years ago. Her side hustle turned to a permanent brick-and-mortar where kids can pick out new and used toys and grown-ups can chase down rare collectibles and nostalgic mementos.
Get out your grimoire—North Park’s Datura (named after a lovely but hallucinogenic and potentially deadly f lower) carries everything you need for witchy business: candles and crystals, incense and oils, plus more than 200 different dried herbs and plants. Seeking shatavari for boosting libido? Gentian root for better intuition? Frankincense for warding off the haters? It’s all here.
People call Uniqlo the “Japanese Gap” for a reason: It’s an affordable, reliable, wildly popular source of wardrobe staples. So, last year, when the first San Diego location opened at Westfield UTC in La Jolla, the 1,000-person crowd that gathered at its grand opening celebration came as no surprise. The store had a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a taiko drum performance, and even Japanese pastries and tea. Now, the beloved store will unveil an outpost at Fashion Valley Mall later this year. Get in line early.

Best Bookshop That’s Old Enough To Drink
Maxwell’s House of Books
Maxwell’s House of Books’ 22-year tenure in La Mesa makes perfect sense once you learn that owner Craig Maxwell’s grandpa Vernon Wahrenbrock ran the iconic Wahrenbrock’s Book House in downtown for more than seven decades. Maxwell’s packed used book emporium stocks rare editions and budget-friendly finds alike across genres. While you’re digging for your next read, don’t forget to say hi to the shop’s most esteemed bibliophile: its chubby resident cat.
Best Rose-Scented Ode
David’s Daughter
A surefire way to brighten a loved one’s day? Flowers—especially ones as thoughtful and artfully arranged as the bouquets at David’s Daughter in North Park. Owner Chandler Rossi named the chic, welcoming shop in memory of her father, a fellow florist and lifelong inspiration. Offering custom or premade arrangements, floral subscriptions, cute knick-knacks, and collaborative workshops like Pilates & Petals, David’s Daughter purveys everything you need to express sympathy, say thank you to a devoted family member, or help a new romance bloom.
Nestled near University City, Clairemont is a seemingly sleepy residential neighborhood packed with hidden culinary gems. Turkish classics, Hawaiian comfort food, vegan shrimp—you’ll find it all here, along with expansive green spaces, wellness-focused studios, and unassuming shops catering to hobbyists and pet owners.
Here are our favorite spots to eat, shop, and play in Clairemont.

Clairemont Restaurants & Bars
Aladdin Cafe
This casual, strip-mall joint offers Mediterranean eats inside or out on the patio. The robust menu includes a solid lineup of vegetarian options and harder-to-find dishes like Turkish tajine, zarb, and borak in addition to shawerma and gyros.
5420 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard
Havana Grill
Settle into Havana Grill’s soft bench seats with a plate of plantains and lechón. This Cuban restaurant centers organic and locally sourced ingredients in traditional dishes like arroz con pollo, ropa vieja, and yuca fries. Douse it all in mojo sauce—a classic blend of olive oil, garlic, and citrus.
5450 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, Suite G
Yakitori Taisho
Tucked away in a Smart & Final parking lot is a cozy spot with a broad selection of yakitori and sake. The jazz music–filled eatery is just as popular as its sister restaurants, Convoy’s Yakyudori and Kearny Mesa’s Hinotez, so make a reservation to nab one of the few seats.
5185 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard
The Butcher N Cheese
This hidden gem is a craft burger and local beer joint serving meat (including bison, turkey, and lamb) and plant-based burgers, hot dogs, seafood, and more. On Fridays and Saturdays, stop by The Butcher N Cheese at 6 p.m. for live music and $5 beers.
4705 Clairemont Drive, Suite C
Barrio Donas
This bakehouse slinging Mexican-inspired donuts landed a spot on our March 2023 staff favorites list for its tart guayaba flavor, but there are plenty of other bites worth the visit here, including mazapan and jamaica donuts. They sell tortas, tamales, and coffee, too.
4714 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard
Mike’s Red Tacos
San Diegan Mike Touma took a birria tour of Mexico to help develop the recipes at his birria-focused food-truck-turned-storefront. Mike’s Red Tacos loads its titular tacos with beef birria, but you’ll also find the slow-simmered meat in unexpected places, like ramen, fries, and a Taco Bell–inspired “crunchstack.”
4310 Genesee Avenue, Suite 104
Feng Cha Tea House
A just-as-casual alternative to the coffee date, Feng Cha is a bustling spot ideal for catching up with friends or getting to know romantic prospects over foam-topped teas and tiny cakes. Try the crème brûlée dirty boba, which comes threaded with crunchy brown sugar bits.
4340 Genesee Avenue, Suite 107
Homestyle Hawaiian
This hole-in-the-wall slings giant plates of Hawaiian comfort food, including Spam musubi, loco moco, and Kahlua pig. Breakfast is technically served all day, but you’ll have to arrive early to grab an order of macadamia nut pancakes—they always sell out.
7524 Mesa College Drive
Sipz
Plant-based diners, rejoice: Everything at this Asian-fusion outpost is vegetarian (and most dishes are vegan), from the kung pao “chicken” and salt-and-pepper “shrimp” to the sushi and pho. Before digging into your main dish, split an order of vegan crab rangoons with the table.
5501 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard
Mongolian Hot Pot
Grab your chef’s coat. At this family-owned Mongolian restaurant, you’ll select from six different broths (including two vegetarian options) and dunk in an array of meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles. Their weekday lunch special for one is a steal.
Making mezze? Pick up everything you need for your chef-ing at Balboa International Market, which carries a swath of tough-to-find groceries from the Mediterranean and beyond, plus pre-packaged tabbouleh and dolmas to go.
5905 Balboa Avenue
Bridge Thrift
Around 84 percent of items donated to thrift shops end up in landfills, a stat Bridge Thrift works to combat. The secondhand shop ensures even unsellable items receive a second life (through recycling or upcycling) and donates 100 percent of its profits to local organizations like Hope for San Diego.
4220 Balboa Avenue
The Fruit Stand
A nondescript warehouse hides one of SD’s most vibrant outposts for local and organic produce. In addition to seasonal fruits and veggies, shoppers can find snacks, nuts, honey, salad dressings, and firewood.
4330 Morena Boulevard, Suite C
Aquarium Fish Depot
Anyone who spent their childhood dentist visits enthralled with the waiting room fish tank can fulfill their aquarium dreams at this well-stocked shop featuring finned friends (both fresh and saltwater varieties), live coral, and marine invertebrates like shrimp, snails, and crabs—and everything they need to thrive.
5121 Santa Fe Street, Suite F
BirdSmart
Find a new feathered friend (and all their required supplies) at BirdSmart, where staff has been hand-raising birds onsite for more than 26 years. Even if you’re not in the market for a pet, drop by to say hello to baby finches, macaws, and other avian infants.
4688 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard
Clairemont Sportscards
This little shop is packed wall to wall with collectable cards. Neatly organized by player and year, the stock primarily features NFL, NBA, and MLB heavy hitters (plus a nice assortment of Pokémon cards).
3949 Clairemont Drive, Suite 4

Things to Do in Clairemont
Olive Grove Park
This spacious community park gets its moniker from a shady, bench-filled olive grove. The ample green space, picnic tables, and playground make it a great spot for kids’ birthday parties, while NBA aspirants can hit the park’s open basketball courts.
6075 Printwood Street
Marian Bear Memorial Park
Perched in San Clemente Canyon, the 467-acre Marian Bear Memorial Park provides three miles of creekside walking and hiking paths. While most treks are flat, adventurers seeking a challenge can follow finger canyon trails up to the top of the mesa.
5491 Genesee Avenue
Tecolote Canyon Golf Course
Tee up at this 3,161-yard golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and Sam Snead. A large practice facility with a driving ranges, putting and chipping greens, and more offers space to perfect your game before hitting the links.
2755 Snead Avenue
Tecolote Canyon Natural Park and Nature Center
This park’s nature center is an ideal spot to learn about the canyon’s flora and fauna, including the owl (or tecolote) after which it is named. The preserve features about 6.5 miles of trails open to runners, hikers, and bikers.
5180 Tecolote Road
Vinya
A glass of malbec probably won’t help your balance in triangle pose, so plan to hit this yoga studio’s onsite wine bar after your 5:30 p.m. “happy hour” flow. The bar also serves bites like salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie, making it a good brunch spot for pals embracing both fun and wellness.
6185 Balboa Avenue
Indigo Dance
Partner dances like salsa and bachata form the focus at this all-ages studio (though they also offer a women’s-only Latin fusion class). While classes typically start at $35 per drop-in, Indigo sometimes holds $5 intro events where you can pick up a few beginner steps.
5035 Shawline Street
Golden Rishi Qigong & Tai Chi
This martial arts studio offers tai chi, qi gong, and taekwondo classes for adults, teens, and kids four years and older. Golden Rishi offers free intro classes for beginners, and little ones ready to go all-in can sign up for summer camp programs that run for one or two months.

Stake Chophouse & Bar isn’t your average steakhouse. Blue Bridge Hospitality’s Coronado outpost is a modern interpretation of a big-city steakhouse nestled in the heart of the small coastal community. The team at Stake has reimagined the whole steakhouse experience. By prioritizing a seasonal farm-to-table sourcing philosophy, a personalized guest experience, and unique service touches, like a formal steak presentation and a bespoke knife selection process, Stake distinguishes itself in a sea of steakhouses.
Exceptional steaks, including Wagyu from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., and fresh seafood flown in daily form the core of Stake’s culinary identity. The menu features a five-course omakase-style steak experience highlighting house favorites, plus an array of cuts, and classic steakhouse staples—think a wedge salad, baked potato, or pasta carbonara—refined for a contemporary palate without losing their traditional appeal. Stake focuses on seasonal sourcing from the region’s best family farms and specialty purveyors, and incorporates intentionally unexpected touches to create something truly unique.
“I challenge our chefs and myself to take it a step further in sourcing,” says Chef Ronnie Schwandt. “It’s important to us to highlight different farms, unique one-off farms—whether it’s cattle, strawberries, a local fisherman or from anywhere in the United States, we’re always trying to find that niche.”
Beyond the menu, Stake emphasizes outstanding service, says Vinny Spatafore, Director of Hospitality Operations. Staff maintains detailed notes, allowing them to remember guests by name, recall previous orders such as a favorite martini (also memorable for the customer since it’s served in an extra tall, distinctly-shaped glass), and celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.
“When you have those points of topic that you remember about a guest, they appreciate that,” he says. “Our servers are really good with that—we have a couple servers who have been here since the beginning and they’ll remember somebody from years ago, their name, their kids’ names, where they live. I’m really thankful to have a great front of house staff.”
Award-winning wines, rare whiskeys, special events, and a complementary black car service that provides transportation for guests throughout Coronado add to Stake’s appeal.
Schwandt stresses that Stake offers more than a meal; they aim to give patrons something unforgettable.
“It starts when you walk up the stairs and are greeted by the hostess—that sets the tone for the night. Then you’re greeted by a server, who may know you by name, and can guide you through the menu and curate as they get to know you,” says Schwandt. “Most people leave kind of blown away; they leave feeling like they just had an experience. That’s the goal, right? Whether you’re serving smash burgers or high-end steak, you want somebody to leave thinking, Wow, that was awesome.”
Where to eat, drink, shop, and play in this North County gem

Eat & Drink
San Marcos has a variety of delectable dining options conveniently located downtown in Old California Restaurant Row. This Spanish-style plaza houses a dozen chain and regional restaurants, many of which are open for outdoor dining, including mainstay Fish House Vera Cruz, gold-rush-inspired Old California Mining Company, and North County’s first microbrewery, San Marcos Brewery & Grill. Just up the street you’ll find Mama Kat’s. This charming café named for the owner’s mother offers breakfast favorites, specialty coffees, pastries, and pies.
Fish House Vera Cruz
Justin Halbert
San Marcos has some tasty drink options, too. Meadiocrity’s sweet honey wine supports local beekeepers and helps hives thrive. Visitors to Sunshine Mountain Vineyard can enjoy its varietals on a patio overlooking the lush, rolling hillsides.
Antique Village
Justin Halbert
Shop
Tucked amid the warehouses and showrooms along Furniture Row is Antique Village, a one-stop shop for vintage jewelry, collectibles, coins, china, toys, memorabilia, and more from over 60 vendors. San Marcos also caters to crafters and creators with stores like Yarning for You, Grand Country Quilters, Quilt in a Day, and Discount Hobby.
Double Peak
Justin Halbert
Play
Affectionately known as “San Parkos,” this city is blanketed with green space and trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Double Peak, accessible via scenic Discovery Lake, is one of the most popular treks. At the top of this 1,000-foot climb in the San Elijo Hills, hikers are treated to views stretching from the mountains to the sea. Not a hiker? Not a problem. There are plenty of outdoor options for you, too. Head to Lake San Marcos for a day on the water. Lakehouse Hotel & Resort rents motorboats to cruise along the calm waters, and you can even explore the lake by gondola by booking an advance tour with The Black Swan Gondola Company. End the day with a cold one at Decoy Dockside, the resort’s restaurant, which has two spacious decks.
Discovery Lake
Bonus!
Nearby Elfin Forest is a hiker’s paradise and Halloween-lover’s delight. Legend has it that shadowy apparitions, a wicked witch, and a ghostly woman in white roam this rugged reserve after dark. However, after-hours visits are strictly off-limits for a dangerous practical reason: Mountain lions and the other wildlife who call the reserve home need to do what they do undisturbed.
Chef Phillip Esteban, former research and development chef for Consortium Holdings and proprietor of White Rice Bodega, Wildflour Delicatessen, and Weapon Ramen (plus a few other creative ventures all over town), never seems to slow down. On July 15, he’ll be opening White Rice Morena in Linda Vista, quickly followed by Wildflour in Liberty Station around September.
So when we asked him where he spends his free time, the San Diego native made sure we knew not to expect white tablecloths or stuffy atmospheres.
“These are places that I normally dine on a regular basis,” says Esteban. “As much as I love big name restaurants, big name chefs, and will frequent them, this [list] is a ‘if you go here, you’ll probably see me’ situation.”
If you’re looking for recommendations on where to unwind, chow down, and drink up in San Diego—according to a chef—Esteban knows just where to send you (leave your pearls at home). Here’s what he had to say, in his own words:
TJ Oyster Bar

TJ Oyster Bar
Order: Fried Fish Tacos
I’ve been going to TJ Oyster Bar since I was in high school. I remember as a kid, we would go play golf across the street at Bonita Golf Course. It’s down the street from my aunt’s house, where I would spend a lot of time in summers with my cousin.
We’d go play golf and then we’d go over to the original store. It has maybe 15 seats tops. Everything on the menu is good, but they’re really known for their fried fish tacos. Fresh ingredients—you can watch them fry it fresh in front of you—good tortillas, good sauce. It’s just nostalgia for me.
4246 Bonita Road, Bonita (additional locations in Bonita and Chula Vista)
It’s also very small, probably 12 seats in total. Juan Jasper is one of those neighborhood spots. It’s the same owners as next door’s Sepulveda Meats, and it’s like this little French bistro where the menu is written in chalk, or the specials are, at least. They have maybe 10 items that are constantly rotating. It’s fun! You never have to get the same thing twice.

Longplay HiFi, coffee highball

Longplay HiFi
Order: Coffee Highball
I love Longplay HiFi. I’ve known Gibrán for a few years. Frankly, he was the first one to bring the vinyl listening bar scene and energy to San Diego. He did it in his way and his style, which is very true to form for the jazz kissa model, and having been to jazz kissas in Japan, it’s very reminiscent of that. It’s the first, and most authentic vinyl listening bar experience.
Obviously, coming from CH and loving their spots, I didn’t want to go the route of selecting the next beautiful, amazing thing, but they have such a big impact on the city. One of their most low-key spots, and actually my favorite of the whole company, is J & Tony’s. They make my favorite cocktail, a variation on a Manhattan, and it’s just amazing. It came off the menu, but I’m sure a lot of other people ask for it.
I wanted to add a lifestyle feel to this list, and Chris has been cutting my hair for 10 years plus. When I was at Consortium, there were 700 people who worked there when I was the R&D chef going around, and everyone would ask where I got my hair cut. I’d just send them to Monarch. Great friend and great barber.
485 Tenth Ave., East Village
Taisho

Taisho
Order: Yakitori
Taisho is like the Asian version of CH. They have a group of their own within Convoy, and Taisho’s yakitori is the highest level. The guys prep all the meat skewers at one location, but Taisho gets the best cuts. It’s small and quaint, and the two chefs are there all the time. The quality is the highest.
Around March, they have firefly squid, which is amazing. Year-round, I get the chicken teba, the wing, and I love the black miso cod. They have an amazing selection of sake as well.

Mostra Coffee
Order: Choconana Cold Brew
The head roaster, Mike Arquines, is actually a chef by trade. We opened The Cork & Craft in Rancho Bernardo back in 2013 together. He was the executive chef and I was the chef de cuisine. He left shortly after we opened to focus on being the head roaster and co-owner for Mostra.

While glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agents have been used to treat Type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years, their recent emergence as weight-loss wonder drugs marked a new frontier in medicine. But their effectiveness has left some patients wondering what to do once they’ve reached their goal. Stopping the medication could mean regaining some, if not all, of the weight. A Scripps Clinic internal medicine physician recently conducted a small study of whether GLP-1 patients who had reached their goal weight could maintain that weight by taking their regularly prescribed injection every other week instead of weekly. Spoiler alert: 30 of 34 patients did. Read more about the study here and what that may mean as pharmaceutical companies roll out oral GLP-1s.
