Spend a gorgeous SoCal day outdoors sipping wines from more than 15 countries at this walk-around tasting experience. You can also hang out in the new Stella Artois beer garden. And to pair with your drinks (or simply help soak them up), popular L.A. food trucks will be on hand offering treats for sale. Plus, you can enjoy celebrity chef demos -- including one from The Foundry's Eric Greenspan -- live entertainment, lifestyle exhibitors and more. You can also attend one of the festival seminars (for an additional fee) to learn more about things like Spanish wine, and cheese and wine pairing. Tickets even include a souvenir glass, and the event benefits the non-profit Food Forward.

One Night With Janis Joplin: 4th of July Fireworks & BBQ

Full Price:
$108.00
Our Price:
$99.00

One Night With Janis Joplin adds some actual Fourth of July fireworks to the musical ones produced on stage, with a post-show barbeque buffet on the Arena Stage terrace -- a prime viewing spot for the famed pyrotechnics launched on the National Mall. First up is the show, a part-concert, part-theatrical event that captures Janis Joplin's life and legacy in all its live intensity. Mary Bridget Davies stars as the rock legend in a performance that has audiences dancing in the aisles and critics raving. Featuring powerful musical numbers including "Piece of My Heart, "Summertime" and "Mercedes Benz," as well as one song Joplin never formally recorded, One Night boasts a full band and a cast including Sabrina Elayne Carten, who plays Bessie Smith, Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. After the performance, you'll move outside the theater for food and drinks, along with the fireworks viewing. Please see the full event description for the buffet menu. Learn More

What a great way to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The event appeared well organized and there was a wide selection of wineries. I enjoyed the cheese samples and live music too.

I have only a few complaints. As it was a hot sunny day, I would've preferred more white varietals (it seemed the majority of wineries were offering only Chardonnay). Also, the original $75 price tag is pretty steep if you ask me. I don't think I would've gotten my money's worth if I paid full price.

All in all though, the winefest makes for a very pleasant day. For the right price, I'd come back next year.
