LAWineFest – SoCal’s Signature Wine Event – Heads to Long Beach This Weekend
Don’t miss the premier wine-tasting experience in Los Angeles County at the 18th LAWineFest! Taking place on June 3-4 at the Harry Bridges Memorial Park in Long Beach Harbor, this highly anticipated event is back after a sold-out 2022 Fest. Indulge in the finest selection of award-winning wines from around the world, alongside craft brews and other delightful beverages. Secure your tickets now for an unforgettable weekend of unlimited tastings, live music, boutique shopping, food trucks and more!
The park beside the historic Queen Mary provides a picture-perfect backdrop where wine exploration and education is balanced with loads of fun, live music, delicious food trucks, artisan boutiques, and more. And it’s all for a great cause. This year the LAWineFest has again partnered with the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club as its charitable partner, raising funds and awareness for the original founding chapter of the organization.
After an hour or two of sipping, savoring, and strolling around the grounds, attendees can take a break and listen to live music – The Unofficial Slam Band – while enjoying delicious cuisine from an array of food trucks and booths available for purchase.
There is also a unique selection of lifestyle exhibitors offering everything from wine accessories, chocolates, jewelry, clothing, unique candles, and more. When the Fest concludes each day, attendees are encouraged to check out the award-winning restaurants and stores nearby in the city.
LAWineFest hours are 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Parking will be available for a fee in the Queen Mary lot. Designated Drivers, carpooling, ride sharing services, and public transportation are highly recommended. An ever-growing list of wineries, breweries, and shops is located at LAWineFest.com.
