28th Annual Seaside Seeing Red Wine Festival
Reds, whites, and rosés will be uncorked during Seeing Red Wine Festival, four days of wine and culinary events being held in Seaside Nov. 8 - 11, 2018. Now in its 28th year and recognized as one of the “Top 10 Can’t-Miss Fall Wine Festivals” by Fodor’s Travel, the festival draws attendees from around the world who make the trip to the iconic beach town a yearly tradition.
Guests will enjoy sipping on delicious wines, and tasting unique and delectable food pairings. Wine aficionados and foodies will savor carefully selected Gulf Coast-to-table dishes from Seaside’s famous restaurants while sipping beautifully-paired, quality-curated wines from around the globe. This year, the festival will also feature a VIP experience in Ruskin Place.
Each year has been a sell-out event, and this year will be no exception. Tickets are limited. Attendees will want to purchase their tickets early. Proceeds will benefit the Seaside Neighborhood School. Exclusive ticket pricing with lodging reservations is available through Seaside’s Visitors Bureau Partners - Homeowner’s Collection, Sunburst Beach Vacations, and Cottage Rental Agency.
“Our goal each year is to make the event better than ever ,” says Kevin Boyle, Seaside Events Director. “This year, we’re excited to bring back our retail tent, making it easier for our festival-goers to purchase the wines they loved. We’re also going to feature more than 120 wines, paired with culinary selections from our award winning restaurants.”
