The San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival is San Diego’s largest wine and culinary event. Held each November, thousands attend the event. The festival includes gourmet food, wine and beer tastings, celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations, wine appreciation classes and auctions. Festival organisers spend the year doing personal research, and then invite San Diego’s most popular restaurants and chefs. Chefs square off in the “Chef of the Fest Competition”. The festival this year will be held from November 14 to 20.
