San Diego Food + Wine Returns This November

The West Coast’s premier culinary celebration is back and bolder than ever. From November 2–9, the San Diego Food + Wine Festival will transform the city into a culinary playground, blending food, beverage, culture, and advocacy across eight unforgettable days.

The award-winning festival brings together James Beard Award winners, Michelin-starred chefs, Food Network and Top Chef alumni, and rising stars from San Diego, Baja, and beyond. Guests can expect an unmatched showcase of more than 800 wines, spirits, and craft beverages, anchored by the Grand Tasting Presented by Southwest Airlines on San Diego’s iconic coastline, James Beard Foundation Opening Night at Grand Decant, and Grand Fiesta—a vibrant celebration of the region’s unique cross-border culture.

New this year, SDFW will debut its Wellness Weekend with chef-driven, nutrient-rich dishes and spirit-free cocktails; an expanded partnership with the James Beard Foundation; and Forkcast: The Future of Food Summit, exploring food, policy, equity, and sustainability. Additional highlights include a Baja Culinary Expedition through Michelin Guide Mexico, culinary cinema with the Coronado Island Film Festival, and vibrant chef collaborations across San Diego.

Whether you’re sipping rare wines, discovering new no/low-ABV pairings, or meeting the chefs that are shaping today’s culinary landscape, the San Diego Food + Wine Festival always delivers a memorable celebration of taste and talent.
