Catalina Wine Mixer 2023: A Summer Celebration Like No Other

Get ready to experience the ultimate summer celebration on Catalina Island as the Catalina Wine Mixer returns for its eighth year from June 2-3, 2023. This ever-expanding event is a must-attend for wine lovers and movie fans alike, paying homage to the cult classic movie Step Brothers that inspired it.

The event will feature live sets from renowned DJs Michael Basic and SPLYCE, as well as headlining performances by Los Angeles-based Phantom Planet, making a stop on their summer tour. Presley Aronson will also join the lineup with his inaugural event performance before the return of Kelly Boyz. The musical entertainment promises to deliver a unique spectrum of sounds that will keep you dancing all night long.

But it's not just about the music – wine enthusiasts will have plenty to cheer about as well. On Saturday, wineries and seltzer and beer distributors will line the lawn at Descanso Beach Club, offering tastings and samples galore. And for those looking to take their wine experience to the next level, a VIP wine pairing lunch hosted by Melier at Avalon Grille is not to be missed.

New additions to the event this year include a craft beer tasting in Avalon's brand new Flx Biergarten, a whiskey tasting at Antonio's Pizzeria & Cabaret, and the Malibu Rocky Oaks VIP Lounge at Descanso Beach Club. And for those who want to experience the ultimate wine and music pairing, Blinking Owl's whiskey tasting is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

As guests return to the Catalina Wine Mixer, they can expect an updated look featuring the island's iconic art tiles, which take inspiration from the classic hand-glazed clay squares designed in the 20s and 30s. The colorful illustrations are a nod to the event's connection to the island and the cult classic movie that inspired it.

So mark your calendars for June 2-3, 2023, and get ready to experience the ultimate summer celebration on Catalina Island. With live music performances, wine tastings, craft beer, whiskey, and spirits, there's something for everyone at the Catalina Wine Mixer.
