Seeing Red Wine Festival: Grand Tasting

Celebrate in the SoWal town of Seaside during the 26th annual Seeing Red Wine Festival, Nov. 3-6, 2016. Aged like a good Bordeaux, the Seeing Red Wine Festival is produced in partnership with the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation (DCWAF). 

Tickets are on sale NOW for the 26th annual SEASIDE Seeing Red Wine Festival!

The SEASIDE Seeing Red Wine Festival has grown to be a sell-out event, attracting wine connoisseurs and novices alike. Attendees are encouraged to reserve their tickets well in advance. This festival benefits Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation and 14 local children's charities and has been recognized as one of the "Top 10 Can't-Miss Fall Wine Festivals," by Fodor's Travel.

The four days of festivities include reserve wine tastings, dinners and a brunch with featured guest winemakers. Several of Seaside's well-known restaurants showcase how their farm-to-fork and gulf-to-table offerings pair beautifully with the featured wines.
