The award-winning Pacific Wine & Food Classic returns on Saturday, September 20, 2025, with a renewed focus on what truly makes Southern California’s culinary scene extraordinary: its local talent.

While many festivals spotlight celebrity chefs from afar, the Pacific Wine & Food Classic proudly elevates the chefs who define our region’s food culture—those who create magic in our own neighborhoods and hometowns. This year, we honor these culinary leaders as Restaurant Royalty.

New for 2025, guests will also be treated to The Dessert Garden—a decadent stroll-through experience dedicated to sweet creativity and sensory delight. This lush, garden will feature artfully crafted desserts paired with wines, dessert wines, and imaginative confections that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Set along the picturesque waterfront at Newport Dunes, the event will feature unforgettable bites from top local restaurants, perfectly paired with world-class wines, craft cocktails, and a vibrant, sun-soaked atmosphere. ​​​

Make it a weekend and Stay & Play with hotel packages from Hyatt Regency Newport Beach and VEA Newport Beach.
