ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The 31^st Annual Sandestin Wine Festival will occur April 20-23, 2017. Destin Magazine has named it the “Best Annual Event” and it is known as the best event in the Visit South Walton Beaches Wine and Food Festival area.

The Sandestin Wine Festival at Baytowne Wharf is an opportunity for discovery. Four days of unique events offer a wide range of experiences, from attending wine dinners with celebrity chefs to participating in preview events throughout the year and tasting hundreds of wines.

Wine aficionados enjoy meeting winemakers, asking detailed questions, and acquiring hard-to-get selections. A bonus is the opportunity to immediately purchase your favorite selections at the ABC Fine Wine and Spirits Retail Tent at a discounted rate. Everyone can enjoy live music and interactive experiences at the culinary tents, shops, and dining in the Village of Baytowne Wharf.

The 31st Annual Sandestin Wine Festival is sure to be a memorable event. Stay tuned to the website and sign up for the newsletter to learn about special events and new activities.

Laura Co-Owner

Hi there! I'm Laura Clayton, co-owner of Beach Condos in Destin, where we specialize in offering beautiful, pet-friendly beachfront vacation rentals along the Emerald Coast of Florida. From cozy couples’ getaways to spacious family retreats, I’ve helped thousands of guests experience the magic of Destin and Miramar Beach — one salty breeze and sugar-white sand beach at a time. With over a decade of experience in the vacation rental world, I wear many sunhats — from managing bookings and marketing to creating pun-filled condo names and writing guest-friendly travel guides. I'm passionate about hospitality, obsessed with Gulf views, and always on the hunt for the best local seafood joints (I’ll let you in on my favorites if you ask!). When I’m not answering guest emails or walking through new listings, you can find me chasing sunsets, curating homey details that make our condos shine, or brainstorming beachy blog content with a coffee in hand and my toes in the sand. Whether you're planning your first visit or you're a returning beach bum, I’m here to help make your stay unforgettable. Let’s get your flip-flops in the sand and your vacation on track — after all, life’s better at the beach.
