39th Annual Sandestin Wine Festival

The 39th Annual Sandestin Wine Festival returns April 16–19, 2026, bringing four days of
exceptional wine and coastal cuisine to Village of Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin Golf and
Beach Resort in South Walton, Florida.

A pioneer among Southeast wine festivals, this beloved Gulf Coast tradition pairs world-class pours with a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere.

The weekend opens Thursday with The Prisoner Wine Company Dinner at Poppy’s Seafood Factory. Friday and Saturday feature the Grand Wine Tastings, where guests can sample hundreds of domestic and international selections alongside chef-driven bites, live music, and interactive culinary experiences throughout the Village.

Saturday morning’s Seas the Day Yoga presented by the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa is the perfect refreshing start, complete with mimosas, before an afternoon of sipping and strolling.

The festival concludes Sunday with brunch at Ovide inside Hotel Effie Sandestin.

Guests can extend the celebration with the Sandestin Wine Festival Package, offering special savings on accommodations and a ticket per adult to Saturday’s Grand Tasting – an ideal way to turn the weekend into a full coastal wine escape!
