July 1, 2026 (Los Angeles, CA) — The LA Phil announces the return of the Market Tasting Series for the 2026 summer season at the Hollywood Bowl. This Hollywood Bowl Food + Wine offering allows visitors to participate in wine tastings hand-selected by Caroline Styne, named Outstanding Restaurateur of the Year 2018 by the respected James Beard Foundation.
“Discovering and introducing new wines and craft beers to our guests at the Hollywood Bowl is one of my favorite projects. Having complimentary tastings in the Marketplace before the concerts is a fun and delicious way for all our guests to experience our wine program,” states Caroline Styne.
The complimentary wine-tasting series begins with Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass on Sunday, July 5, 2026, in the Plaza Marketplace at the Box Office Plaza. The series continues through Wednesday, September 30, 2026, with Rubén Blades & Roberto Delgado Big Band concert. Offered one hour before the doors to the venue open, the tastings provide guests the opportunity to meet face to face with vintners and wine professionals from Revel Wines, Skurnik Wines, Grapevine Wine Company, Vineyard Brands, Wavy Wines and Elevage Wines among others.

ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL
One of the largest natural amphitheaters in the world, with a seating capacity of nearly 18,000, the Hollywood Bowl has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since its official opening in 1922 and plays host to the finest artists from all genres of music. For over a century, the Bowl has been a Los Angeles County public park, operated in partnership with the LA Phil to welcome visitors from all over the world. It remains one of the best deals anywhere in Los Angeles; to this day, $1 buys a seat at the top of the Bowl for many classical and jazz performances. In April 2026, the Hollywood Bowl was awarded the Outdoor Concert Venue of the Year award at the 37th Annual Pollstar Awards, an honor bestowed 18 previous times. For millions of music lovers across Southern California, the Hollywood Bowl is synonymous with summer. hollywoodbowl.com
