The 2024 Pacific Wine & Food Classic at Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort takes place on Saturday, Sept. 21, but tickets are already on sale, and with good reason: the event sells out every year so the earlier you obtain tickets the better.
According to my sources at Pacific Wine & Food Classic, the exclusive event presents an unrivaled culinary experience celebrating the diverse epicurean offerings of Southern California with exquisite wines, decadent cocktails, and delicious bites from Orange Counties top chefs.
‘We are thrilled to showcase the culinary brilliance of Orange County once more. This year, guests can look forward to an exclusive experience, indulging in a seamless fusion of premium wines and exceptional local dishes crafted by our gifted chefs,” said Pamela Waitt, president of OC Restaurant Association and founder of Pacific Wine & Food Classic.
The event boasts a line-up of more than 35 restaurants and food purveyors.
Back this year are The Taco Garden presented by TacoTuesday.com, paella by Chef Leo Razo of Villa Roma and Cambalache, a silent disco, and mocktails from Waterloo.
