Visitors can expect high-profile culinary and beverage talent alongside tasty appearances from beloved local L.A. restaurants paired with art installations and cultural initiatives.
As the newest addition to L.A. culinary scene, it will be a true celebration of the vibrant talent that swirls in the City of Angeles. The Los Angeles Wine & Food Festival will take place in conjunction with Frieze Week Los Angeles, which animates the creative communities across LA from 26 February to 3 March 2024.
These new additions join previously announced headliners (see below).
Ticket holders are able to enjoy unlimited tastings from more than 30 chefs per day. The festival is also dedicated to highlighting female-owned restaurants in L.A., thanks to official nonprofit partner Regarding Her (RE:Her), a national nonprofit dedicated to accelerating the growth of women entrepreneurs and leaders in food and beverage.

The Artist Plate Project
In connection with Frieze Los Angeles, the Artist Plate Project, an activation founded by Michelle Hellman, will feature at the event following its sold-out iteration at Frieze New York 2023.
Fifty limited-edition plates designed by world-renowned artists, including Virgil Abloh, Rashid Johnson, Takashi Murakami, and Amy Sherald will be on display and available for attendees to purchase. Proceeds will directly benefit the organization, and provide food, crisis services, housing, and other critical aid to thousands of people experiencing homelessness and instability.
