Mark your calendars to kick off the 15th annual 30A Wine Festival with this festival favorite, the Wine Dinner. An evening of sophisticated flavors is underway from the talented chefs of the Alys Beach Culinary team paired with exceptional fine wines.

Nestled amongst the trees of Arboleda Park, savor an enchanting evening featuring the finest oysters sourced from the bountiful Southeastern gulf waters accompanied by renowned chefs from across the southeast as they pair up to create unique culinary delights. Given the opportunity to try oysters raw or one of the participating chefs’ curated dishes, all will be complemented by the effervescence of champagne and the melodious notes of live music, this soirée promises an exquisite night of revelry and joy.

An evening devoted to agave. Join us for a tequila dinner that celebrates the tradition, craft, and character behind Mexico’s most storied spirit. Settle in for a coursed, plated menu thoughtfully paired with standout tequila expressions, and discover how the land, the hands, and the techniques behind each bottle shape what ends up in your glass. Expect a night rooted in tradition, guided by people who know agave best, and full of the kind of discoveries best shared around the table. Full details coming soon.

An elevated celebration of Southern tradition, 30A Wine Festival’s beloved Bourbon, Beer & Butts brings together the rich flavors of slow-smoked barbeque, refined bourbons, and refreshing craft beers in a relaxed setting. Inspired by the timeless character of the Southern coast, this is a night of celebration under the stars with the toe tappin’ modern bluegrass sounds of The Hillbenders.

The crown jewel of the 30A Wine Festival, the Grand Tasting brings together more than 80 wines from around the world to South Charles Street, where the flavors and spirit of Italy unfold with all the charm of the beautiful country.
