Learn About the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center

The San Diego Wine & Culinary Center is dedicated to promoting the food and wine bounty of San Diego County. We work with local winemakers, growers, chefs, restaurateurs and quality food purveyors to bring you the finest locally-produced products. Our winery relationships bring you the best of wine tastings, chef demonstrations and product samplings. We also want you to be able to take a piece of your experience with you and have teamed up with many wine retailers to offer local products on premises.

Another major component of the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center is desire to provide fun and entertaining education about food and wine. Classes, seminars, banquets, weddings, tours and excursions take place on a regular basis at the Center. We also bring you great wine and food from around the globe, inviting talented international chefs and winemakers to our facility for classes and events.

Proprietor John Alongé, known as The San Diego Wine Heretic, personally presents a variety of classes, tastings and seminars, demystifying the sometimes arcane world of wine and entertaining groups of all sizes. He is a much sought after speaker for corporate and private groups all over the country.
