G
uests indulged in what seemed like an endless flow of wine, great food and loads of entertainment
over the weekend of April 26-28 at the South Walton Beach Wine & Food Festival. The event,
sponsored by Chuck Hutton Toyota, took place at Grand Boulevard in Sandestin Town Center.
This elaborate event benefits the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation, which raises funds for
children in need in Northwest Florida. The festival brought in an outstanding roster of celebrity winemakers,
distillers, chefs, brew masters and entertainers to wine, dine, educate and entertain guests.
The Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation, which was founded in 2005, and ranked #4 on the list of “Top
10 Charity Wine Auctions in the US” by
Wine Spectator Magazine, has positively impacted the lives of close
to 100,000 youth and donated more than $18 million to the Northwest Florida Charities through hosting world
class wine and charity events.
