Grand Wine Tastings
Grand Wine Tastings are held at The Village of Baytowne Wharf on Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29 from 1- 5 p.m. Wine connoisseurs and novices join together to sample more than 600 different wines. New this year will be an expanded Culinary Pavilion with a Mediterranean theme, wine celebrities and demonstrations from well-known chefs.
Retail Tent
After a full day of sampling wines and finding new favorites, guests can check out the retail tent that is available each day. Unlike other wine events, the Sandestin Wine Festival offers attendees the chance to purchase and transport wine sampled that day.
