San Diego Food + Wine Festival Returns This Weekend

The San Diego Food + Wine Festival runs from November 2 - 9, 2025. It's the 21st year that the festival has been celebrated in the heart of San Diego.

This is the only festival in the U.S. that celebrates both award-winning creative culinary fare and wines from the Southern California and Baja regions.

Food honors and amplifies the diverse influences of Latin, Asian, and BIPOC communities that define the Southern California and Baja region's culturally-rich culinary scene.
