The OC Wine Society is proud to be part of the OC Fair for over 4 decades. Each year our Wine Courtyard area serves wine by the taste and by the glass. Over the years, we have developed a list of our favorite Fair Food and Wine Pairings. You can find some of our most popular pairings listed below. Please note that fair vendors can change from year to year, and the vendors we have listed may have been replaced by new vendors with similar items. We hope you enjoy some of these pairings during your visit to the OC Fair.
