Food and Wine Classic

Phenomenal live music . . . A venue that sails above all others . . . Exceptional food and wine selections . . . Set against the glorious San Diego skyline.

Nothing tops this.

With special underwriting support from The San Diego Convention Center, San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum, Pacific Event Productions, and Festivities Catering and Special Events, we’re bringing you an event so spectacular and grand that it can only be described as an instant classic.

Live music, great food and wine will all come together aboard the USS Midway for the second annual ASAE & The Center's Food & Wine Classic. Culinary teams including a top chef, an association executive and a sponsor, will tempt you with superb culinary delights, while you dance the night away to the sounds of Detroit's Fifty Amp Fuse, back by popular demand, courtesy of the Detroit Metro CVB, an ASAE & The Center Strategic Partner and MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino Hotel, Cobo Center and Caesars Windsor. Network the night away as you bid at our live auction and cast your vote for the next Association Top Chef!

Imagine all this . . . On second thought, don't just imagine it – experience the association event of the year!
