The Paella, Wine & Beer Festival returns to San Diego's Embarcadero Marina Park South on Saturday, May 13, from 1-6pm for a day centered around Spain's most famous dish paired with amazing wine, local craft beer, sangria and cocktails, and featuring live music, dancing and celebrity appearances, including Mario Lopez and MasterChef Claudia Sandoval. In addition to raffling off 2 tickets for one lucky reader, we also have promo codes for the top savings on passes in town to this always-entertaining event.
The 3rd annual San Diego Paella, Wine & Beer Festival will transport attendees to Spain during this a celebration of paella - a saffron-infused rice dish that marries bold flavors and delightful textures. Combined with a variety of meats, shellfish and vegetables, paella was originally a peasant's meal cooked over an open fire in the fields and eaten directly from the pan using wooden spoons. The dish takes its name from the wide shallow pan that it is cooked in, traditionally called the paella or paellera.
