At Hilton Los Cabos, food is never separate from where it is served. It is a way of honoring it. The Baja Food and Wine Journey is the most public expression of that idea: an annual gathering that brings acclaimed guest chefs to the resort to collaborate with our culinary team, share their craft, and celebrate the ingredients, traditions, and terroir that define the Baja peninsula.
Each edition is built around the same principle. Intentional experiences. Wines from Mexico’s celebrated wine regions. Ingredients from local farms and the surrounding sea. And the long, unhurried rhythm of a celebration that unfolds with the ocean as its backdrop.
Now in its fourth year, the Baja Food and Wine Journey has grown from a single themed weekend into a month-long exploration of Baja’s culinary origins, experienced across every venue at Hilton Los Cabos throughout the month of July.
Throughout July 2026, each venue at Hilton Los Cabos becomes part of the journey. The month’s programming is rooted in the ingredients, spirits, and techniques that define Baja’s culinary identity, served in the settings that make each experience its own.

The Biggest BBQ in Cabo
On the 4th of July, Hilton Los Cabos takes the celebration to the beach. A live DJ set, fireworks over the Sea of Cortez, and a spread that honors both the American holiday and the Baja spirit in which it is being served. A tradition that goes back to the very first Baja Food and Wine Journey in 2022, and one that gets a little bigger every year.
6:00 pm – 10:00 pm | Beachfront
