第22届圣迭戈美食葡萄酒节11月1日开幕：八天汇聚200多位名厨与逾1.1万观众
第22届圣迭戈美食葡萄酒节（San Diego Food + Wine Festival）将于11月1日在位于加州圣迭戈县的圣迭戈市开幕，连办八天至11月8日。主办方 San Diego Wine Classic 公布，本届预计迎来逾1.1万名观众、200多位名厨与餐厅以及数百家葡萄酒、啤酒与烈酒生产商，米其林与詹姆斯·比尔德奖（James Beard）得主云集；开幕当晚在 Fairmont Grand Del Mar 举行的亡灵节慈善晚宴，为整个节庆打头阵。
开幕晚宴是第四届亡灵节（Día de Muertos）晚宴，采用站立品鉴式而非传统落座宴席：贵宾鸡尾酒会于1日下午5点在 Solana Terrace 开始，普通入场下午6点半在 Grand Social 展开。晚宴将表彰世界中央厨房（World Central Kitchen）创办人、名厨何塞·安德烈斯（José Andrés），米其林名厨 Javier Plascencia、Roberto Alcocer、Drew Deckman 与 Esteban Lluis 等将在现场设站烹制。晚宴收益拨归 Fundación Tijuana Sin Hambre 基金会，该基金会每天为墨西哥提华纳地区40处庇护所提供约3,500份营养餐食。
本届最大的变化出现在压轴的 Grand Weekend 周末：11月6日（周五）先在 JULEP Venue 举行高端品鉴夜 Icons + Legends；11月7日（周六）的 Grand Tasting 与11月8日（周日）的 Grand Fiesta，则首次同场、连日落在圣迭戈湾畔的 Embarcadero Marina Park North。前者汇集数百位厨师、餐厅、酒庄、啤酒与精酿烈酒厂商，后者聚焦圣迭戈与墨西哥下加州之间的跨境风味，设有 Taco TKO 塔可大赛与现场拉丁音乐。整个周末活动由西南航空（Southwest Airlines）冠名呈现。
节庆一周的其余节目排满全县多处场地：11月3日至5日在 Rancho Bernardo Inn 举行侍酒师大会 SommCon 与饮品博览；11月5日有前往墨西哥下加州 Guadalupe 谷的 Baja 美食之旅、Pacific Beach 的 Oyster Jam 生蚝会、Romesco 餐厅20周年晚宴，以及 Grand Del Mar 的 Legacy of the Land 晚宴。主办方表示，各场活动的地点与时间不同，完整日程见圣迭戈美食葡萄酒节官网。
22nd San Diego Food + Wine Festival Opens Nov. 1: Eight Days, 200+ Chefs and Over 11,000 Food Lovers
The 22nd annual San Diego Food + Wine Festival opens on November 1 in San Diego, in California's San Diego County, and runs for eight days through November 8. Organizer San Diego Wine Classic says this year's festival is expected to draw more than 11,000 attendees, over 200 chefs and restaurants, and hundreds of wine, beer and spirits producers, with Michelin and James Beard honorees among the lineup. The festival kicks off on opening night with a Día de Muertos charity gala at Fairmont Grand Del Mar.
The opening gala is the fourth annual Día de Muertos celebration, staged as a reception-style tasting rather than a traditional seated dinner: a VIP cocktail reception begins at 5 p.m. on the Solana Terrace, with general admission from 6:30 p.m. at Grand Social. The evening honors chef José Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen, and Michelin-honored chefs Javier Plascencia, Roberto Alcocer, Drew Deckman and Esteban Lluis will be among those cooking at chef stations. Proceeds benefit Fundación Tijuana Sin Hambre, which delivers some 3,500 nutritious meals daily to 40 shelters across the Tijuana region of Mexico.
The biggest change this year comes with the closing Grand Weekend. On Friday, November 6, the Icons + Legends tasting night takes place at JULEP Venue. Then, for the first time, Saturday's Grand Tasting (November 7) and Sunday's Grand Fiesta (November 8) share one waterfront site on back-to-back days at Embarcadero Marina Park North on San Diego Bay — the first with hundreds of chefs, restaurants, wineries, breweries and craft spirits producers, the second celebrating the cross-border flavors linking San Diego and Baja California, with the Taco TKO competition and live Latin music. The weekend is presented by Southwest Airlines.
The rest of festival week spreads across the county: the SommCon conference and beverage expo runs November 3–5 at Rancho Bernardo Inn, and November 5 alone brings a Baja culinary expedition to Mexico's Valle de Guadalupe, an Oyster Jam in Pacific Beach, a 20th anniversary dinner at Romesco, and the Legacy of the Land dinner at Grand Del Mar. The organizer notes that venues and times vary by event; the full schedule is on the festival's official website.
