Palm Springs, CA (The Hollywood Times) 4/22/26 – Palm Springs is about to raise a glass to something truly meaningful. The 4th Annual Palm Springs Equality Wine & Food Fest returns on June 13, 2026, transforming the iconic Hyatt Palm Springs into a vibrant celebration of wine, food, diversity, and community.
Named one of the Best LGBTQ+ Food, Wine & Spirits Festivals in the U.S. by Wine Enthusiast, this event goes far beyond a traditional tasting. It’s a powerful platform that highlights LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and women-owned or produced wines, bringing together some of the world’s most exciting vintners under one stunning roof.
Guests will sip and savor over 100 wines, indulge in curated food samples, enjoy live entertainment, and explore a lively silent auction, all while supporting forward-thinking charities that champion inclusion and equality.

From Sonoma County to Napa Valley and beyond, the festival showcases wines from top regions while emphasizing a deeper purpose, visibility, representation, and action.
