Festival format
The Huntington Beach edition is a two-day wine and food festival organized by California Wine Fest. The program begins with the Sunset Rare & Reserve Tasting on Friday evening, then continues with the Beachside Wine Festival on Saturday afternoon. VIP admission begins before regular Saturday entry.
The format is built around California wine tasting, food sampling, craft brews, and live music. Official festival copy describes the series as a showcase for California wine and culinary professionals, with nearly 250 wines from more than 60 wineries, 30 fine dining restaurants, and gourmet food companies at each coastal location.
Wine and food program
Friday’s rare-and-reserve portion includes a sparkling wine reception, rare or trophy wine tastings, appetizers from regional chefs, and live music. It is described as a limited-ticket VIP event for fine wine lovers, with some wines characterized as hard to find, already out of circulation, or impossible to find.
Saturday’s Beachside Wine Festival features hundreds of wines, regional craft beers, artisanal food bites, and live band performances. The broader festival description also names artisanal cheeses, breads, and olive oil among the foods to sample. Food and drink are sample-sized; full-sized portions are not provided.
