The 7th Annual San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival is a 5-day collection of events featuring cooking classes, wine tasting classes, dinner events, parties, opportunities to meet celebrity chefs, a Champagne brunch cruise, and a fantastic outdoor wine and food festival.
Classes
Over 10 classes are offered during the festival, covering chocolate making, cheese & beer pairing, a Master Sommelier blind tasting and wines of the Loire Valley, to name a few. In one of the classes, Maximilian Riedel will be discussing why your wine glass is as important as the wine itself.
