Del Mar Wine + Food Festival 2025
The festival has built a reputation for itself, and no edition disappoints. It brings together big names like Guy Fieri and Troy Johnson with beloved mom-and-pop restaurants serving unforgettable dishes you’ll be dreaming about for days.
Chef, restaurateur, and Emmy Award-winning TV host Guy Fieri is actually this edition’s special guest. Well known for his shows, such as Mayor of Flavortown and Diners, Drive-Ins & Drives, the star will now host the VIP tent at the Grand Tasting on Saturday, September 13.
But we’re not done name dropping! San Diego Wave’s Alex Morgan, former NFL Superstar Drew Brees, and surf legend Rob Machado will also attend this edition and host events.
A very SoCal festival
Created by passionate San Diego locals, DMWFF began with a simple idea: throw the ultimate coastal cookout featuring top chefs, amazing wines, and unforgettable vibes. Set near the ocean, with fall sunsets and breezes to match, this SoCal event is a true celebration of our region.
The festival spans an entire week, with special events happening daily and culminating in two days of Grand Tastings. You can grab tickets for individual events or just join us for the weekend tastings.
Besides getting the best SoCal has to offer, you also contribute to a good cause. A portion of proceeds from Del Mar Wine + Food goes to Feeding San Diego. They rescue good food that would be thrown out, and help get it to San Diegans who are facing hunger.
