Equality Wine and Food Fest

EQUALITY WINE FEST stands to be the preeminent wine event of the year, featuring LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and Women owned, managed, and/or produced wines. Bringing together some of the world’s finest vintners in an exclusive invite-only participation of wineries, we will showcase the immense depth and diversity of wines from these California vintners.

Held inside the Margaritaville Compass Rose Grand Ballroom, EQUALITY WINE FEST gathers together winemakers, industry professionals, celebrity chefs, vendors, and enthusiasts alike to learn and appreciate great wine and food, and celebrate and support diversity. Festival goers will enjoy wine tastings of over 60 varietals, food samples, along with live music, educational speakers, demonstrations, silent auction, and VIP experiences, all creating an environment that fosters community among everyone involved in enjoying every sip and taste.

EQUALITY WINE FEST is proud to partner with the following deserving organizations and a potion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to each charity:

• Give Kids the World Village
• Brothers of the Desert
• LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert

VIP admission begins one hour before general admission and includes exclusive VIP tastings, VIP Gift Bag, and early access to all the sips and bites.

In addition to the GRAND TASTING, there will be retail pop-up shops, art exhibits, silent auction, demonstrations and winemaker talks - ALL INCLUDED in your ticket and all in air conditioned comfort.
