Masters of Taste

Masters of Taste is one of the most distinctive food and beverage events in Southern California — held on the actual field of the Rose Bowl, where you walk around the iconic stadium turf sampling unlimited food and drink from LA’s top chefs, restaurateurs, and craft beverage makers. The setting alone is worth the drive.

Now in its 8th year, the event benefits Union Station Homeless Services — 100% of proceeds go directly to the organization. General admission ($4pm–7pm) includes unlimited tastings from all participating chefs and beverage makers. VIP ($3pm–4pm) gets you an extra hour with access to premium offerings and fewer crowds. Attendance runs approximately 3,000 people — it feels manageable compared to other LA food events.

About 40 minutes from Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach. This is the kind of event that makes a great afternoon outing for a group — half the people you know in the South Bay are usually there.
