California Governor Gavin Newsom attended a luxury wine-tasting event in Napa Valley on June 7, 2025, while riots erupted in Los Angeles. During the unrest, rioters set fires, vandalized public buildings, assaulted law enforcement officers, and looted businesses. The event, described as a swanky fundraiser at Newsom's own vineyard, took place approximately 400 miles from the chaos in Los Angeles. The protests were reportedly anti-ICE in nature, and the timing of Newsom's attendance at the wine tasting has drawn criticism for perceived detachment from the crisis unfolding in the state's largest city. The incident has been reported by City Journal and covered by multiple news outlets, highlighting the contrast between the governor's actions and the violent events occurring simultaneously in Los Angeles.
