I hosted a corporate event at this venue and have nothing but positive feedback to share!Leading up to the event, Cris and her colleagues were flexible, dependable, and caring. During the event, I was extremely impressed by the entire staff helping set up the space. Everyone was kind, patient, and seemed to truly care about what they were doing and our experience - from re-arranging the tables to setting up the A/V and lighting, everyone did an exceptional job and ensured I was a happy customer. To top it all off, the food was delicious and the space was beautiful.I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a well-organized and beautiful event.

It's the perfect venue for a business gathering. Its location cannot be beat, and the team is very easy and accommodating to work with. Our guests had a lovely time sipping on wine and drinks in a unique place - right across from the convention center!

Apparently I was remiss in neglecting to write my review of my experience with SDWCC - no doubt I have been swirling in the sweet memories of my wife's 50th birthday celebration, not to mention my pride (and relief) in pulling off the planning! Truth be told, I cannot take credit for the extraordinary event. Cris guided me through every step of the way, for I have never planned a party like this before. Her experience and knowledge - and especially her kind and patient demeanor as she explained again and again - resulted in a perfect menu, with a perfect room setup, and perfectly happy guests and birthday honoree. The food was delicious, and there was literally the perfect amount. The atmosphere was casual but classy, and there was room for everyone to feel comfortable, whether sitting at small tables or mingling indoors, or hanging out by the fire tables on the patio outside. The table with pulled fresh mozzarella caprese salads was a hit, as was the baked potato bar with ALL the toppings and the Mediterranean mezze station. But the highlight was definitely the boozy donuts. Just. Don't. Miss. Them. Enough said. Most of all, we had so much positive feedback about the party, and I've been happy to refer others to SDWCC for their next events. Can't wait to return!

We celebrated my friend’s 50th birthday at SDWine and Culinary and had a wonderful time. Delicious food and yummy drinks and our DJ had us dancing all night! It was like having your own private club.

Outstanding, unique facility - wonderful food and full bar. We held our Holiday Party in December 2022 for the first time. Parking location was easy and reasonable for being downtown. It was a winner for us and I would recommend for anyone looking for a distinctive location and exceptional food.

Really cool spot to see one of my best friends get married at. Food was really really good and the staff were very professional. Love how close it was to all the hotels as well.

SD Wine & Culinary Center provided bar service for our daughter's wedding. Their service was excellent -- hardworking, friendly team. Made a difference on our girl's big day.

We attended a reception here recently. Unfortunately, although the service was lackluster, the culinary experience (food, drinks) were the worst part of it all. Surprised burnt pizza slices, when they finally come out, classify as a gastronomic delight. Similarly, not one of the serving staff members knew what was in the food items.

We hosted a 58-person wedding at the SD Wine and Culinary Center in February 2022. We chose it for a handful of reasons. The location was fantastic (we really liked having the option of continuing the afterparty downtown); the food and beverage options were top-notch; the staff were incredibly kind, organized, and accommodating; and it wasn't exorbitantly expensive like a lot of other venues around town. I also loved how we were able to use the space--with different rooms available at different times, and the patio with fire pits available all night for guests who wanted some more chill moments. I actually went through 3 different day-of wedding coordinators through the venue (because of staff changes due to COVID and other factors), but the transitions were honestly flawless. They were incredibly organized and I felt confident that I would be taken care of the entire time. I ended up with Erin as my day-of, and she was absolutely wonderful. My wedding was fairly DIY, but she helped take care of everything to make the night flawless. And I also want to note that Liz, the beverage coordinator, is just incredible. She helped with so much this past year, and she went above and beyond to make everything fit our vision. I really can't speak highly enough of my experience here.
