T

he Village of Baytowne Wharf hosted the first Bubbly Baytowne of 2019 on January 24. This free event 
was a fun way to shop at the local stores as well as sip and try a variety of premium champagnes. It was 
a chilly evening, but it didn’t stop people from enjoying the delicious drinks at what’s known as the 
“heart and soul” of Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. Baytowne Wharf has a community feel, and with 

each “bubbly” event, gives the chance to see the whole shopping area, what it has to offer, and also meet some of 
the wonderful people who work in each store. It was also the perfect opportunity to have dinner at one of their many 
restaurants after the event.

The Village of Baytowne Wharf has several tasting events throughout the year to accommodate locals and guests 

with bigger wine tastings that bring people into town from all over with hundreds of attendees. If you haven’t 
stopped by this tucked away village, it makes for a lovely setting for a date, a walk, dinner, or even just shopping. 
They also host family-friendly events, too. It might have been a cold night that even the vacationers bundled up for, 
but it led to some great conversations between the groups and a night out on the town with loved ones.
