Mindi Abair’s Wine & Jazz New Year’s Eve 2025 – 3-Day Coronado Island Escape

Trade confetti for Cabernet and ordinary playlists for sultry saxophone riffs at Mindi Abair’s Wine & Jazz New Year’s Eve 2025, a three-day boutique festival set on idyllic Coronado Island, San Diego. From 29–31 December, the iconic beachfront Hotel del Coronado and neighboring seaside venues become an intimate playground for oenophiles, foodies and music lovers alike. Grammy-nominated saxophonist Mindi Abair curates a stellar lineup that fuses contemporary jazz, funk and soul, performing nightly under the stars with special guest artists you’ll only see here.

Days begin with curated wine walks through Coronado’s Gaslamp-adjacent village—sip limited-release vintages from 25 renowned California and Baja wineries while ocean breezes keep temperatures a perfect 70°. Lunch-and-learn cooking demos led by award-winning San Diego chefs pair local seafood with wine, teaching you pro pairing tricks to take home. Afternoons invite beach yoga, paddle-board rhythm sessions, or spa time before you slip into sunset happy hour on the hotel’s Windsor Lawn, where craft cocktails meet acoustic jazz trios and the sun melts into the Pacific.

Evenings elevate: grand tasting dinners showcase five-course menus synced to live improvisations—think butter-poached lobster while a trumpet mimics seagulls, or cabernet-reduced short ribs underscored by Abair’s smoky alto sax. A midnight bubble toast on the sand welcomes 2026 with a synchronized fireworks display over Glorietta Bay, all soundtracked by a big-band finale you’ll replay in your head all year.

Sustainability matters: reusable stemware, local farm sourcing and carbon-offset shuttles keep the footprint light. Packages range from single-day passes to VIP all-inclusive weekend escapes with beachfront rooms, artist meet-and-greets and reserved candlelit tables. Whether you’re a jazz aficionado, wine collector or simply craving a glamorous yet barefoot-chic way to close the year, Mindi Abair’s Wine & Jazz New Year’s Eve 2025 delivers unforgettable sensory moments and Instagram-worthy Pacific sunsets—no passport required. Secure tickets early; capacity is capped at 1,800 guests to preserve the intimate vibe.
