VIP Garden at LAWineFest – A Premier Tasting Experience!

04.16.25

Celebrate 20 years of LAWineFest in style with an elevated VIP experience the 'The Garden', hosted by the newly renovated Hotel Maya and Jackson Family Wines, which will be featuring among others Wine Enthusiast’s Winery of the Year, La Crema. Taking place May 31 and June 1 at Harry Bridges Memorial Park in Long Beach, this exclusive ticket also offers access to boutique wineries, featuring rare small-production wines—most producing fewer than 2,500 cases per year, as well as other premium and high-end vintners.

Beyond world-class wines, VIP guests will enjoy gourmet bites curated by Hotel Maya’s Executive Chef Luis Torres, known for his expertise at a Michelin-starred restaurant previous to joining the Maya. The experience is further enhanced with a curated cheese and charcuterie selection from Fior di Latte, Long Beach’s beloved cheese shop, and a special wine tasting from Jackson Family Wines. Also, a portion of these ticket purchases benefits the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club, the designated charity of LAWineFest.

In addition to VIP-exclusive tastings, guests with VIP tickets have access to all the festival has to offer, including dozens of California and International wines, live music, food trucks, boutique shopping, and more. VIP tickets are limited to just 400 per day. Saturday VIPs receive early entry at 1 p.m.—giving them a head start on the festivities. And all ticketholders will receive a chance to win a beautiful Wings of Hope watch, valued at $4,100, as well as other incredible prizes, which will be drawn at 2pm Sunday, among other items both days.
