Hollywood Bowl 2025  California-inspired offerings

At the Hollywood Bowl, their California-inspired offerings include three restaurants and three marketplaces. Additionally, menus for the Terrace and Garden Boxes, which can be ordered a day in advance, are created by four-time James Beard Foundation award-winner Suzanne Goin. Goin’s vibrant new summer dishes pair beautifully with the exceptional wine and beer programs curated by Caroline Styne, the James Beard Foundation’s 2018 Outstanding Restaurateur of the Year award recipient. Overseeing the broad range of dining options serving Hollywood Bowl Food + Wine’s thousands of nightly guests is Executive Chef Erik Lopez.

Caroline Styne has curated a diverse retail wine selection in the three marketplaces this season, offering a broad selection of varieties and options for wine lovers visiting the Bowl.

The markets feature a number of canned wines as well as a wide selection of vegan, organic and biodynamic bottles, including a collection of natural wines from producers including Broc Cellars, Wavy Wines, Nat Cool by Neipoort and Hollywood Bowl wine sponsor WINC wines.

Returning for the 2025 season are the Wednesdays and Sunday Market Tastings – a 16-week program of complimentary wine tastings at the Plaza Marketplace with guest winemakers, importers and sommeliers hand-selected by Caroline to give the venue’s visitors an immersive and personal experience with her favorite people in the wine world.

Hollywood Bowl Food + Wine’s many dining options include three sit-down restaurants with seasonally changing menus, street-food kiosks, pre-ordered picnic boxes and a full-service dinner delivered to your box seat. For private events, Hollywood Bowl Food + Wine provides catering at several locations for groups both large and small.

Updates include a Burrito Kiosk offering three artisan selections, hand-crafted pizzas made with custom dough from Larder Baking Company and four new three-course picnic boxes including The Burton Way with Suzanne’s slow-roasted salmon and jeweled rice.

The seasonal ‘Supper in Your Seats’ menu introduces a Surf and Turf for Two. The three Marketplaces will also feature Rori’s Ice Cream, a beloved treat from Santa Barbara.
