FESTIVAL TASTING ON THE BEACH
Friday, November 13
One
of the highlights of the festival takes place on Friday evening.
Our guest chefs will prepare and serve their favorite seafood
creations, many of them incorporating the Florida Stone Crab.
Vintners pour a selection of their finest offerings from 7p.m.
until late into the evening. Guests are encouraged to move
between the restaurant and wine stations, situated on our
beach and surrounding our swimming pool at the edge of the
Gulf, sampling food and wine and returning to taste favorites
again and again. The scale of the event encourages discussions
with chefs and vintners, for, by this time, all in attendance
have started to become good friends. Live music and dancing
on the beach assures a uniquely festive evening.
