Summer at the Hollywood Bowl is as much a Los Angeles tradition as sunset concerts beneath the stars. While music remains the main attraction, the venue's food and wine program has evolved well beyond standard stadium fare over the past decade, with chef Suzanne Goin and restaurateur Caroline Styne transforming concert dining into a showcase for seasonal California cooking. For the 2026 season, that evolution continues with Grapevine Wines joining as the Bowl's new wine sponsor, in partnership with Beckmen Winery, Hitching Post Winery, and Lola Wines.
For the 2026 season, Goin and Styne return for their 11th year overseeing Hollywood Bowl Food + Wine, introducing new family-style dinners, expanded picnic options, refreshed restaurant menus, and an enhanced wine program. Highlights include a Piri Piri Chicken feast for two, an All-American fried chicken picnic box, handcrafted pizzas made with Larder Baking Company dough, and Magpies soft-serve desserts, alongside updated offerings across the Bowl's restaurants and marketplaces.
New Family-Style Feasts and Picnic Favorites
Among the biggest additions this season are three new family-style dinners available through Supper in Your Seats, the Hollywood Bowl's pre-order dining service that delivers meals directly to box seats. New options include a whole Piri Piri Chicken with French fries and salad, a Baja Seafood Feast with grilled chile-marinated sea bass and mojo prawns, and a Surf and Turf for Two featuring a 32-ounce tomahawk steak and buttered lobster. Guests can also build their own meals from an expanded à la carte menu that includes dishes such as grilled beef tenderloin, slow-roasted salmon sayadieh, summer squash gratin, and trenne alla puttanesca.
The Bowl's popular picnic boxes also return with four seasonal options available for pre-order, including the new All-American box featuring Suzanne Goin's fried chicken with buttermilk dressing, coleslaw, summer corn succotash, cornbread with honey butter, and Cousin Debbie's carrot cake. Casual favorites remain a cornerstone of the Bowl's food program as well, with seasonal burritos, handcrafted pizzas made with Larder Baking Company dough, burgers, and Magpies soft-serve desserts available throughout the venue.
