Treat your palate to a delectable dining experience with fine wines, flavorful brews, exotic cocktails, and scrumptious cuisine at this year’s Island Divine presented by the Junior League of San Diego. Escape to paradise on Saturday, May 5, from 3-7pm, at Ellen Browning Scripps Park located at La Jolla Cove. The theme of this year’s event is Isla Mujeres, and the Latin vibe is sure to make this an evening for the senses. Along with delicious bites, enjoy a plethora of savory and refreshing beverages from 50 premier vendors. Pair California coastal cuisine with one of the dozen renowned microbreweries offering up ice-cold glasses of domestic and international brews. Locate your favorite seafood dish and accompany it with one of the exquisite wines — from a Shiraz to a Chardonnay — from San Diego’s top wineries. Finish off your dining experience by nibbling on decadent sweets such as gourmet cupcakes and feathery pastries. Throughout the evening, guests will be entertained by the mellow sounds of musician Tim Wray, and will be invited to peruse the silent auction tables to bid on any number of amazing packages. Be sure to get your tickets early as the event sells out each year. Tickets are $70 each, and package specials are available. (619/233-5008, www.islanddivine.com)
