T

he 6th annual Sparkling Wine and Holiday Lights event was held on 
November 17 at The Village of Baytowne Wharf, the “heart and soul” of 
Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and a must see gathering place for everyone 
visiting the Emerald Coast. This sold out event of 500 plus attendees featured 

over 30 Champagnes and appetizers at the Village restaurants. It was a beautiful crisp 
evening to enjoy the company, wines, and all The Village has to offer including carolers 
that walked the whole area and stopped to entertain and fill the event with spirit along 
with the holiday lights and the annual lighting of the tree in the middle of the square.

The Village of Baytowne Wharf is located along the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay and 

filled with boutiques, eateries, and special events throughout the entire year. During 
the Holiday season, events like the Sparkling Wine and Holiday Lights, the Ice Skating 
Extravaganza, live music, Santa Claus, and Winter Wonderland offer plenty for the entire 
family.  The perfect place for out of towners, families, and locals alike; it’ll get you feeling 
like you’re in a holiday village even in the warmer weather.
