Let your taste buds wander and your weekend come alive at the 2025 Pacific Wine & Food Classic on Saturday, Sept. 20, at Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort. Known for its spectacular setting and unmatched culinary talent, this award-winning event invites food and wine lovers to sip, savor and celebrate by the bay.

The one-day festival features bold wines, inventive cocktails and irresistible bites from Southern California’s top chefs and restaurants. Guests will enjoy a beachside experience filled with unforgettable flavors, live coastal energy and curated indulgence, all steps away from the bay.

This year’s lineup includes bold bites from acclaimed restaurants; a selection of more than 100 wines highlighted by the Paso Robles Grand Wine Experience; and premium craft cocktails from Aspen Vodka, Flecha Azul Tequila, Licor 43, Maker’s Mark and Papa’s Pilar Rum. Guests can also look forward to a Rosé All Day Gazebo by Miraval, a decadent Dessert Garden, Mocktail Magic with zero-proof cocktails and a Silent Disco by DeSoi.

“Every year, the Pacific Wine & Food Classic brings people together in the most delicious way possible,” said Pamela Waitt, founder of the Pacific Wine & Food Classic. “It’s a celebration of our local culinary talent, our love for connection and the joy of sharing unforgettable culinary experiences with others.”
