Uncorked Wine Festival: Del Mar 2025 is Coming to Town

Pouring More Wine at the Uncorked San Diego Wine FestivalGreat Wine at the Uncorked San Diego Wine Festival

Get ready to raise your glass because the 6th annual Uncorked Wine Festival: Del Mar 2025 is coming to San Diego this weekend!

The event will feature over 100 wines from around the globe plus live music and tasty food from onsite food trucks, and all with the backdrop of live horse races at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club!

As one of the featured events of the Del Mar Horse Races Summer Season 2025, the wine festival benefits Urban Surf 4 Kids, a local nonprofit that provides surf therapy for foster children and orphans.

I think this is the perfect outing for wine lovers and foodies who are looking for a unique summer experience that supports a good cause!

An Inside Look at Uncorked Wine Festival: Del Mar 2025

Best Friends at the Uncorked San Diego Wine Festival
Best Friends at the Uncorked San Diego Wine Festival

Our team at Go Visit San Diego loves a good wine and food festival, and none more than the annual event in Del Mar! There’s a lot to look forward to at the 2025 event from new vendors to live music and much more.

Let’s have a look through the details you’ll want to know!

The Food Truck Lineup

There’s food for everyone’s palate this year! Here’s a look at the food truck lineup from all of your local favorites:

  • Woodstock Farina Pizza
  • Global Tacos
  • The Baja Shrimp
  • The Deli Doctor
  • Catered Kitchen

It was hard for our team to pick a favorite here as we all love a good food truck. Our founder Todd said to go with Global Tacos. I say check out The Baja Shrimp. You can’t go wrong with any of these!

Outside the Bottle Sips

While you can enjoy wine from your favorite local wineries, such as Wente, Chapel Down, and more, there are also Outside the Bottle options.

Think outside the wine bottle with seltzers, meads, canned cocktails, and some interesting pours that will have you raising an eyebrow. There’s expected to be more than ever before, so I wouldn’t want to miss this one!

Live Music

Besides the food and beverages, there will also be live bands and performers. I don’t know about you, but there is nothing like outdoor live entertainment!

The music should set the atmosphere for an exciting trackside event with panoramic views from the Stretch Run.

Local Tip! Don’t Miss the NEXT Wine & Food Festival in Del Mar

If you can’t make this Saturday’s event or just really like food and wine festivals like we do, know that there’s a second festival coming to Del Mar next month!

The Del Mar Wine + Food Festival 2025 is scheduled for just after the close of the horse racing season from September 10th until September 14th, 2025. This multi-day event will be bigger offering more wine and food options, plus a full weekend to enjoy it!

Know Before You Go: Useful Tips

Before you gather your friends and head to this weekend’s best wine festival in San Diego, let’s make sure that you know the events policies.

I’ve also got a couple hotel suggestions if you are looking for a staycation or just want to make a weekend out of it!

Event Policies

Below are a couple quick policies worth noting.

  • No outside food or drinks are allowed.
  • No pets are allowed.
  • The Uncorked event is rain or shine, so keep an eye on the weather forecast.
  • There are no ticket refunds.

What to Wear

Your ‘Derby best’ is always recommended when it comes to the events and activities at the Del Mar horse track!

So I suggest that you dust off your fancy oversized hat and bring on your best summer chic! Don’t forget to bring the sunscreen and sunglasses too since much of the event is outdoors and there isn’t much shade.

Best Places to Stay Near the Track

If you want to make a weekend out of it and need a place to stay, our team at Go Visit San Diego recommends the Winners Circle Resort. This 3-star property has comfy rooms, an inviting pool, and is across the street from the track.

It’s also worth mentioning that if you’re not familiar with Del Mar, know that it’s a lively neighborhood with nearby shopping, beaches, and attractions that are ready to be ‘uncorked’ before or after you attend the wine festival!
