Back for its 17th year, the LA Winefest will be returning to the Harry Bridges Memorial Park at the Long Beach Harbor with unlimited pours of wine, beer and other libations Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5.

The two-day, outdoor event draws thousands each year, according to organizers, with similar projections for this year’s celebration. Tickets buy guests a commemorative glass, which is used to try unlimited sample pours from over 30 wineries, six breweries, and dozens of other specialty cocktail and alcohol businesses slated to appear this year. More vendors are expected on the lineup closer to the event dates.

The festival will also feature food trucks, including Latin cuisine, Italian, Japanese and fusion foods. Patrons can also shop for artisan crafts and other goods from more than a dozen small businesses. Click here for a list of participating wineries, breweries, food trucks, artisan shops and more.
