uests and friends of Sinfonia enjoyed the Crescendo! Vintner Dinners in     
some of the most elegant and luxurious homes and venues in and around 
Walton and Okaloosa Counties on February 15. The dinners were a prelude 
to the main event which took place at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort 

& Spa on February 17. Some of the country’s most exclusive vineyards including Constant 
Diamond Mountain Vineyard, Thompson31Fifty Wine, Blackbird Vineyards, Saint 
Helena Winery, Oakville Ranch Winery, Terra Valentine Winery & Foretell, Castellucci 
Napa Valley, Silver Trident Winery, and Crocker & Starr Winery were pouring wine 
to accompany each course at the dinners. Each vintner was partnered with a culinary 
maestro who created an exclusive menu that paired beautifully with the wines. Guests 
met new friends, tasted new wines and experienced the culinary skills of some of our      
favorite chefs.
