Raise a glass to nearly four decades of Emerald Coast wine tradition. The 39th Annual Sandestin Wine Festival returns to the picturesque Village of Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, and it’s bigger and better than ever.
Named "Best Annual Event" by Destin Magazine, this four-day celebration features wine dinners with celebrity chefs, morning yoga sessions, live music, and interactive culinary experiences. The Grand Tastings on Friday and Saturday are the crown jewels — showcasing over 500 domestic and international wines alongside gourmet bites from the Emerald Coast’s top chefs.
From intimate winemaker dinners to the festive Sunday closing brunch, every moment is crafted for wine lovers and foodies alike. The charming Baytowne Wharf setting, with its twinkling lights and waterfront views, makes this one of the most scenic festival venues in the Southeast.
Best for wine enthusiasts, foodies, and couples looking for a refined getaway with great food and live entertainment.
Expect a multi-day festival with ticketed Grand Tastings, wine dinners, live music, and an upscale but relaxed coastal atmosphere.
Tickets available through the official website and Big Tickets. Individual event pricing varies — Grand Tasting tickets and multi-day packages are offered at different tiers.
