CALIFORNIA WINE FESTIVAL
HUNTINGTON BEACH
October 16-17, 2026
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
SUNSET RARE & RESERVE TASTING
Paséa Hotel & Spa Sapphire Ballroom
Friday, October 16, 2026 - 6:30-9pm
This is an elegant VIP event for true fine wine lovers. The limited number of tickets sell out quickly (due to the rarity of the wines being poured). A champagne reception is just the prelude to an evening of sampling hard-to-find trophy wines, some already out of circulation and impossible to find are poured, to an adoring crowd dressed in their finest casual/elegant resort wear. Top regional chefs will serve hot and cold appetizers while live music keeps things super cool. Paséa Hotel & Spa provides the perfect oceanfront destination for this night of fantastic wine and food.

The quintessential California wine tasting experience – sun, sea, food, wine and music – all come together at this sun-splashed wine festival overlooking the award-winning beaches of Huntington Beach. This event gets under way at noon for VIP holders – and 1:00pm for regular ticket holders. Thousands of wine lovers will hit the sun-splashed beachside location for a day of sun, wine, food and music. Hundreds of premium California wines are served up along with the best of the regional craft brews and a dizzying variety of foods to sample.
