LAWineFest Celebrates 21 Years with New Home at Los Angeles Equestrian Center
LAWineFest returns June 13 and 14 for its 21st anniversary celebration, bringing wine enthusiasts, boutique wineries, craft brewers, food vendors, live music, and community partners together at a new location: the iconic Los Angeles Equestrian Center.
After more than two decades of events, organizers say the move to the tree-lined equestrian center near Griffith Park offers expanded space, scenic mountain views, and a more relaxed outdoor atmosphere while remaining centrally located for visitors across Los Angeles County.
The festival will feature tastings from California and international wineries, along with craft brews, ciders, kombucha, food trucks, boutique shopping, and live entertainment from the Unofficial Slam Band.
A popular VIP Garden experience also returns, offering limited-access tastings from boutique wineries producing fewer than 2,000 cases annually, along with premium selections, food pairings, shaded seating, and dedicated restrooms.
Festival organizers are once again partnering with the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club, while adding AHEAD With Horses as a charitable partner. The nonprofit provides equine-assisted therapy programs for disabled and disadvantaged children.
“It’s exciting to bring the LAWineFest back to central Los Angeles for 2026 and this beautiful location is perfect,” said LAWineFest Director Scherr Lillico. “We look forward to welcoming back old and new friends from the Westside, downtown, and the valleys.”
Festival hours are:
- Saturday, June 13: 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (VIP entry at 1 p.m.)
- Sunday, June 14: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
General admission tickets are $100 at the gate, while VIP Garden tickets are $150. Organizers strongly encourage ridesharing, designated drivers, and public transportation.
