Produce will be provided by more than a dozen farms and ranches, including Coleman Farms of Carpinteria, Crows Pass Farms of Temecula, El Campito Farm of Descanso, McGrath Family Farms of Camarillo, and Suzie’s Farm of San Diego.

The Lodge Sommelier Paul Krikorian will feature several vintners, including Palmina and Brewer-Clifton of Santa Barbara, Falkner of Temecula, and Nickel & Nickel of Oakville. A select number of breweries will also be on hand, including AleSmith Brewing Company.

Tickets are $125 and are available online at celebratethecraft.com. The price includes food, wine, beer, taxes, service charges, gratuity, and valet parking. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Slow Food Urban San Diego, which raises public awareness, improves access, and encourages the enjoyment of foods that are local, seasonal, and sustainable.
