The 28th Annual Sandestin Wine Festival is sure to be the tastiest yet. SoWal.com and Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort have teamed up to give one lucky winner a SoWal Beach Vacation during the festival weekend, Apr. 10-13, 2014. One lucky beach & wine lover will receive a two-night stay in a Sandestin Luau Studio Condo, tickets to the Friday night Grand Tasting, golf, and $100 dinner at Elephant Walk.
The WaterColor Community Association will host the 9th Annual Art in the Park on Mar. 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in WaterColor's Cerulean Park and Town Center.
Stellar weather is a tradition at Art in the Park and WaterColor provides a perfect setting for the one-day event during the most beautiful time of year. Artists display their works throughout one of South Walton's most beautiful landscapes filled with butterfly gardens, trees, walking paths and fountains.
The 3rd Annual 30A Wine Festival returns to Alys Beach March 7-9 with a showcase of premiere wine producers and culinary favorites. The three-day festival features live music, wine tasting seminars, and wine & culinary grand tastings in one of the most beautiful settings on Florida's Gulf Coast.
For two colorful summer evenings on Jun. 6 & 7, Alys Beach opens its doors, courtyards, and pedestrian paths to innovative companies and artists who transform the entire resort town into a
work of art - and this is your chance to be a part of it.
If there is one food that sums up Gulf Coast goodness it just may be a good pot of gumbo. One thing we know for sure is that we love a good bowl, and you can get yourself one of the best in the world right here in SoWal at the Sandestin Gumbo Festival.
Songwriters and music lovers headed to South Walton from every direction. The 5th edition of the 30A Songwriters Festival was bigger and better, with more great music from January 17-19, 2014.
