HEY BARNSDALL LOVERS,

IT’S FINALLY WINE TIME!

The days are getting longer, and the sun is getting warmer. After yet another sold out season in 2024, for our 16th season we’re expanding wine tasting into SEPTEMBER! 

This summer, join us every Friday, June 6 through September 26 (except July 4th!), on Olive Hill and the West Lawn of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets with fine wine from our friends at Silverlake Wine; savor delicious offerings from rotating local food trucks; groove to DJ sets; and explore captivating exhibitions at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery and Barnsdall Junior Arts Center Gallery. And, of course, take in the best view of the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Park Observatory in the city!

A limited number of tours of the main interior of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Los Angeles, will be offered; tickets are sold separately. 

We are especially grateful to our neighbors Kaiser Permanente for coming back as lead supporter of the 2025 wine tasting season.

As always, 100% of the proceeds for this annual fundraising series produced by Barnsdall Art Park Foundation support programming within Barnsdall Art Park. More than ever, this event will provide essential funding to help sustain Barnsdall Art Park as the City of Los Angeles's newly proposed budget cuts would devastate our beloved Park and put much of the site's cultural programming at risk.

Please support the future of Barnsdall Art Park by buying your tickets today, and making this yet another sold out season, all in the name of seeing the park flourish for many years to come.

Can't wait to toast summer with you on Olive Hill.
