Deets: This year, LAWineFest proudly celebrates its 21st anniversary June 13 and 14 with an exciting move to the iconic Los Angeles Equestrian Center. The new location sets the stage for two unforgettable days of wine tasting, discovery, and connection in the heart of Los Angeles County.
For more than two decades, the festival’s organizers have poured their heart and soul, along with countless glasses of wine, into creating a welcoming and memorable experience for wine enthusiasts of all levels. The move to this stunning new venue means fresh opportunities to bring people together for a dynamic weekend that blends exploration, education, and philanthropy in an approachable and lively atmosphere.
Hollywood glamour meets equestrian tradition at the new home of LAWineFest. Nestled on beautiful, tree-shaded grounds bordering Griffith Park, the Los Angeles Equestrian Center (LAEC) offers expansive open space, natural shade, sweeping mountain views, and a relaxed outdoor setting ideal for wine lovers. This secluded yet centrally located destination provides a picturesque backdrop just minutes from the heart of LA.
Home to numerous dressage, polo, and competition events, and more than 500 beautiful horses, the LAEC attracts visitors who appreciate life’s finer luxuries, including fine wine and dining. Centrally located between the 5 and 134 Freeways, the venue is easily accessible from Los Feliz, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Pasadena, and surrounding communities, making it a convenient and captivating venue for LAWineFest.
LAWineFest will also host another VIP Garden, a lovely private tree covered area where guests can enjoy exclusive access to boutique wineries producing 2,000 cases or less, along with a selection of higher-end wineries showcasing new varietals. Ticket sales are limited for this special experience, and VIPs will receive a souvenir wine glass, tasty bites with the wine and additional relaxed seating, plus dedicated restrooms. And it’s all for a great cause. The LAWineFest has once again partnered with the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club to raise awareness and funds, this year becoming more important than ever to the city and its need for community. Joining as a charitable partner this year is AHEAD With Horses, a local nonprofit devoted to improving the quality of life of disabled, disadvantaged, and special-needs children through equine-assisted therapy using vaulting.
Guests can look forward to a thoughtfully curated weekend of tasting exceptional wines – plus craft brews, ciders, kombucha and other beverages – from local wineries to producers from across the world. Discovering new wines is balanced with many other activities, including live music by the Unofficial Slam Band, delicious food trucks, boutique shopping from local LA-based small businesses, and more.
LAWineFest hours are 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Designated drivers, carpooling, rideshare services, and public transportation are strongly encouraged.
