LAWineFest Marks 21 Years With a New Home at the LA Equestrian Center
LAWineFest is celebrating its 21st year with a move to a new venue: the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, set against the tree-lined edges of Griffith Park. The festival runs Sept. 12 and 13, bringing two days of wine tasting, live music and community spirit to a fresh setting between the 5 and 134 freeways.
For more than two decades, LAWineFest has built a reputation as a welcoming spot for wine lovers of every level, and the new location adds mountain views and open, shaded grounds to the mix. The Equestrian Center is home to hundreds of horses and regularly hosts dressage and polo events, giving the fest a distinctly elegant backdrop.
Guests can sample wines, craft beer, cider and non-alcoholic options from local and international producers, alongside food trucks, artisan shopping and live music from the Unofficial Slam Band. A VIP Garden ticket adds access to boutique wineries, extra bites, and shaded seating.
The event benefits the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club and this year welcomes AHEAD With Horses, a nonprofit offering equine-assisted therapy, as a charitable partner.
