aco’s Bayfront Bar and Grill held their annual Bayfront Wine Festival, in the Plaza 
de Luna downtown on April 6. The festival showcased over 90 exceptional wines, 
beers, and craft spirits, and offered a special invitation to learn about the finest 
selections from all around the world. Guests had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity 

to sample a Woodford Reserve Bourbon that was Jaco’s very own blend, and members 

from Break Thru Beverage Group were on hand to engrave bottles from this special 
occasion. 

Each table featured a specialist who was trained in their class of wine; from 

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and everything in between. During the festival, 
any wine available for tasting was also available for purchase at a discounted rate. This 
event hosts around 300 people, and sells out quickly each year. This intimate gathering 
is a beautiful experience, offering attendees a unique look into the world of wine, 
and provides an opportunity to increase wine knowledge, and enjoy a relaxing day in 
downtown Pensacola.
