New La Jolla Art & Wine Festival VIP Tickets: Everything You Need to Know
The La Jolla Art & Wine Festival is returning on Oct. 11 and 12 with expanded offerings, such as new VIP tickets for the popular wine and beer garden.
If you’re unfamiliar, the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival is an annual celebration of creativity, community, and fun in downtown La Jolla. Now in its 17th year, the festival is back and better than ever with new expanded offerings, including VIP Wine & Beer Garden tickets.
Although the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival itself is completely free to attend and open to the public, the Wine & Beer Garden is a popular ticketed activity for guests 21 and older. While the garden has always been a showcase of both local and national brewers, wineries, distilleries, and restaurants, the VIP tier comes with additional benefits.

Specifically, with the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival VIP tickets, you’ll get:
- 12 included tastings
- A dedicated VIP entrance
- Exclusive limited-edition festival tote bag
As with all tickets, the VIP option includes access to a wealth of different beverage vendors and restaurants set against a backdrop of lively music and entertainment. Participating wineries, breweries, distilleries, and restaurants include:
- The Cottage
- La Jolla Winery
- Pali Wine Co.
- Pure Project
- Juneshine
- Modern Times Beer
- Solento Organic Tequila
- Snake Oil Cocktail Co.
- Ashland Hard Seltzer
Along with having a good time, all proceeds from the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival Foundation support a good cause. Namely, underfunded art, music, science, physical education, and technology programming at public schools in the San Diego Unified School District.
The festival is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 11 and Sunday, Oct. 12 on Girard Avenue. Tickets to the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, including the VIP Wine & Beer Garden tier, start at $60 and are available at this link.
