ONEgeneration’s Encino Food & Wine Festival is set for Saturday, April 25, with a 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. public session at 17400 Victory Blvd. in Van Nuys. (onegeneration.org) The event is a fundraiser for ONEgeneration, a nonprofit that says its mission is to support older adults, children and families across its communities. The group says all proceeds from the festival support its programs and services. (onegeneration.org, onegeneration.org) General admission is listed at $125, and organizers say each ticket includes food tastings from local restaurants plus wine and brewery pours. Sponsors get a separate VIP hour from noon to 1 p.m. before the main event opens. (eventbrite.com, onegeneration.org) Organizers say the festival will be held on the lawn next to the Encino Farmers Market, the weekly market ONEgeneration runs at the same Victory Boulevard address. The market operates Sundays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. between White Oak and Balboa. (eventbrite.com, onegeneration.org) The festival has become a recurring spring event for the organization. ONEgeneration’s event site describes the 2026 gathering as the 3rd annual Encino Food and Wine Festival. (encinofoodwinefestival.org) The setup is aimed at adult donors as much as neighborhood food fans. Organizers say the event is 21 and over only, identification is required, parking is free, and the program includes a silent auction and a boutique area for local artists and vendors. (eventbrite.com, onegeneration.org) ONEgeneration traces its history to 1978 and says it grew from a storefront senior center into a broader service agency. Its current campus at 17400 Victory Blvd. includes adult daycare and childcare, tying the fundraiser to the intergenerational model the nonprofit promotes. (onegeneration.org, onegeneration.org, encinofoodwinefestival.org) For attendees, the pitch is simple: a three-hour outdoor tasting event on April 25. For ONEgeneration, it is a ticketed benefit tied directly to the programs it runs year-round from the same Encino-area campus. (eventbrite.com, onegeneration.org)
