Every Spring at Baytowne Wharf, wine aficionados from around the globe enjoy four very full days of wine, wine, wine at the Sandestin Wine Festival in Destin, Florida. More than 600 hand-selected wines are featured at the party and you can sample all of them, if you dare.
In addition to wine tasting, Emerald Coast festival goers can participate in cooking classes and gourmet dinners with wine parings. They can also attend educational seminars, charity events and fashion shows, play in golf tournaments, meet celebrity vintners, and bid at auctions for rare vintages. Now in its 23rd year, the wine festival attracts over 2,000 connoisseurs and wines from more than 80 vineyards. The 2008 edition raised more than $850,000 for local charities.
