Following the sold-out success of its debut season, Mainly Mozart’s Wine Pairing Series, sponsored by the Jean-Charles Boisset Collection, will more than double its concert offerings for 2025-26, bringing some of North America’s top musicians to San Diego for a one-of-a-kind sensory experience.
This classical music and wine series promises to let you “taste what you hear” as world-renowned concertmasters and principal players perform works specially paired with wines from the Jean-Charles Boisset Collection. Between pieces, musicians and sommeliers will guide audiences through the unique connections between the music and wine selections.
Presented by Mainly Mozart – best known for its annual All-Star Orchestra Festival, home to the largest gathering of concertmasters and principal players in the United States – the expanded series will feature artists from the Kansas City Symphony, National Symphony, Boston Symphony, and New York Philharmonic.
“There is such a rich history and depth of feeling that exists with classical music,” Mainly Mozart CEO Nancy Laturno shared with GB Magazine. “Through the Wine Pairing Series, we believe we are offering San Diegans a sensory experience they will never forget.”
