The inaugural festival is a showcase of culinary, beverage, culture and music that highlights celebrity guest chefs, local chefs, celebrity winemakers and proprietors, artisans, farmers, local craft spirits and beers, along with renowned wine, spirits and beer brands.
The festival offers a wide variety of events, from wine dinners and tasting events, to master classes and more. Most events will take place at the host location sites, the World Golf Hall of Fame and the official hotel partner, World Golf Village Renaissance St. Augustine Resort.
Volunteers must be 21 years of age or older to volunteer for events at the festival. Volunteers receive a souvenir apron, glassware and an opportunity to enjoy the event in which they are volunteering after their shift ends and possibly free event ticket opportunities, depending upon the number of volunteer hours a volunteer can commit.
Those who volunteer for more than 30 hours will earn a free “Smoke on the Walk” ticket.
Festival organizers have precautionary health and safety plans in place for the festival, including social distancing for tasting booths and all events, hand sanitizing stations and limiting attendance at outdoor and indoor events.
