Pacific Food and Wine Classic

This posh food and wine event honors the arrival of fall and one of the most vibrant and interesting food scenes in the country. Visit Newport Beach on Saturday, Oct. 1 to take part in the Pacific Food & Wine Classic.

When you arrive at the event, you’ll be welcomed with Lanson Champagne and a 40-foot charcuterie and crudité board. This stunning spread will be a feast for the eyes and stomach, decorated with edible flowers, a range of artisanal cheeses, fresh seasonal fruit, olives, crackers and other fixings. Next, check out the area’s top restaurants and local chefs. This year, a brand-new addition is the Taco Garden, where chefs prepare mouthwatering tacos while the bar serves chilled beer.

Sip delicious Jackson Family Wines, including La Crema Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while dancing at Celebrity Cruise’s Silent Disco. Then relax at the San Simeone Wine Lounge or enjoy the gorgeous picnic settings with stylish decor at the Dolce Picnic Takeover. A DJ and live music will create the ideal background ambience.

Tickets cost $195 and include access to all of the food, wine and activities.
