Guests are invited sip on fine wines and taste a variety of delicacies surrounded by the ocean at the beautiful Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa. This is an elegant VIP event for true fine wine lovers, located in one of Orange County’s most beautiful coastal cities – Dana Point. 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 to an adoring crowd dressed in their finest casual/elegant resort wear.

The California Wine Festival is a two-day event. The Sunset Rare & Reserve Tasting is held at Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa on Friday, April 25, 2025 from 6:30-9:00pm. The Beachside Wine Festival is held at Sea Terrace Park on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 1:00-4:00pm (VIPs 12:00pm).
