Los Angeles's Most Anticipated Food Festival of The Year Is Coming—Here's How to Get Tickets

Most cities have their own version of a food and wine festival. New York, Charleston, Miami, Aspen—the options to eat endlessly come year-round. Now, the Los Angeles Wine & Food Festival, hosted by Tastemade, is returning, and we have all of the delicious details.

The festival will run from November 7 to November 9, with tickets now available to the general public on the website. A second wave of tickets will become available on October 10.

The culinary talent includes many recognizable faces from Food Network and notable restauranters, including Michael Symon, Stephanie Izard, Gabe Bertaccini, and Giorgio Rapicavoli. Festival goers can expect three days of events, with the walk-around tasting tent (featuring loads of booths serving highly-rated restaurant samples) being one of the most anticipated.

“It’s always a pleasure to be part of these kinds of festivals—it’s one of those rare moments when you get to cook alongside your friends, your peers, and some of the most inspiring chefs in the country...this time right here in the city most of us call home," Michelin-starred chef and owner of L.A.'s Petit Trois, Ludo Lefebvre, told Men's Journal. "I am looking forward to bringing a little Petit Trois flavor to this year’s Los Angeles Wine & Food Festival."

Other events include the Friday Bite Club and Saturday Bite Club, which highlight a new lineup of chefs, activations, booze, and live entertainment. There are general admission, VIP admission, and weekend passes available, with prices starting at $125.

"The L.A. Wine & Food Festival feels like a giant dinner party of friends who happen to also really love to eat and drink well," Top Chef winner Brooke Williamson said. "But, also, the festival is a great opportunity for locals and visitors to discover so many of our city’s best restaurants and local favorites, who can always use the support of new fans, especially now." 

Williamson is likely referring to the wave of restaurant closures the city has endured lately, alongside California's devastating wildfires. The iconic eatery, Cole's French Dip, has been the latest to shutter its doors. 

Chef continued to reveal that fans can expect a nostalgic, fall-inspired dish from her at the festival. 

Last year's booths featured more than 50 wine, beer, and spirits brands that guests were able to taste unlimitedly. The city puts together other beloved culinary events yearly, such as Smorgasburg L.A., EEEEEATSCON, and FoodieLand, which all occurred in the earlier summer months.
