Junior League Of San Diego's Food & Wine Festival

Junior League Of San Diego's Food & Wine Festival is an annual food and wine fundraiser held each spring in San Diego, California — with its most recent edition running from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at The Lane, a waterfront venue at 900 Bayfront Ct Suite 200 in downtown San Diego. The festival is organized by the Junior League of San Diego (JLSD), an organization with over 90 years of history promoting voluntarism and developing women's leadership in the San Diego community. All proceeds support JLSD's mission-based community projects.

Junior League Of San Diego's Food & Wine Festival brings together San Diego restaurants, breweries, wineries, and distilleries for unlimited tastings across a 4-hour event. The waterfront setting at The Lane provides views of downtown San Diego's bayfront, and attendees have access to a silent auction featuring items donated by area businesses. The 2022 edition introduced a themed dress code — "Summer of Love," a 1960s–70s California boho aesthetic — adding a participatory element to the afternoon. The festival has been running annually for at least 19 years, as a 2019 press mention references the 19th Annual Food and Wine Festival held at La Jolla Cove.

Ticket pricing and VIP tier details are not currently listed on the festival's website, so prospective attendees should check jlsd.org/food-and-wine for current information as dates and pricing are confirmed. General admission includes unlimited tastings from participating food and beverage vendors. The silent auction runs concurrently with the tasting portion of the event, giving attendees the opportunity to bid on donated packages throughout the afternoon. JLSD members should note that the event qualifies for a Signature Event credit.

San Diego's food and beverage scene spans a wide range of producers, from coastal craft breweries to Southern California wineries, and this festival draws from that network to represent local culinary talent. The event functions simultaneously as a public tasting festival and a community fundraiser, directing ticket revenue and auction proceeds toward at-risk children and families in San Diego County.
