The quintessential California Wine Festival - Dana Point tasting experience comes alive at this sun-splashed festival set in the picturesque Sea Terrace Park, a grassy, palm-lined oasis next to the sparkling Pacific Ocean. By 1:00 pm, the event is in full swing as wine lovers gather in a charming, Camelot-like village of white-topped tents that capture the magic of coastal California. Against the backdrop of swaying palms and ocean breezes, attendees are invited to explore an impressive selection of hundreds of fine wines from California’s top vineyards, alongside a curated array of regional craft brews. The festival is more than just a wine tasting—it’s a celebration of the senses, with a dizzying variety of gourmet foods to sample, from artisanal cheeses, fresh-baked breads, and rich olive oils to succulent shellfish, vibrant salads, decadent chocolates, and exquisite cakes.

A lively band keeps the atmosphere upbeat, creating the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon of indulgence and discovery. As guests move from tent to tent, they can savor the unique pairings of premium wines and gourmet bites, meet passionate producers, and connect with fellow wine enthusiasts in a relaxed, sun-drenched setting. This festival is more than a tasting—it’s an immersive experience where wine and food reign supreme, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement by the sea. Whether you’re here to find your next favorite vintage or simply enjoy the coastal vibes, this all-day feast for the senses captures the true essence of California’s wine culture, where sun, sea, and the art of fine living converge.
