February 8, 2024When it comes to wine, 30A puts on quite the show.
With wine festivals, a wine walkabout, wine dinners, and boutique wine shops, well, let’s just say, even a connoisseur will have a challenge keeping up with these pros.
After a world-class wine-tasting event or a visit to a nearby vineyard, head to the balcony, porch, or rooftop of your comfy Oversee vacation home, and savor a glass and a sunset.
Here’s to 30A!
30A Wine Festival
A celebration of wine and food, and no shortage of both, the 30A Wine Festival is tops. Sample wines from some of the most renowned vineyards in the world, paired with delectable dishes and dinners, created by some of the region’s top chefs.
The festival is packed with seminars, tastings, and dinners. Don’t miss the Grand Tasting! Live music creates a lively and festive atmosphere. With so much to see and do at the festival, make sure you have a comfortable and convenient place to stay.
The Wine Bar at WaterColor
Wine World’s 30A location combines a sophisticated yet informal wine bar with a separate family-friendly mini-market and restaurant. Locally owned, this is a great place to enjoy a gourmet meal in a sophisticated, yet non-stuffy, setting.
With an extensive wine list you’ll never get bored with the delicacies and cluster of wine options of Wine World WaterColor. The outdoor tables are great for people-watching, and The Wine Bar is frequently voted among South Walton‘s hottest spots for wine lovers on Scenic 30A.
Edward’s
Their award-winning wine list, fine food, and professional service make Edward’s a beloved 30A establishment They’re family-friendly and offer a great kids’ menu. We strongly recommend coming early as they do not take reservations.
“Great wine is an essential part of the 30A lifestyle,” says Ethan Cox, a well-known innovator, and leader in the beer, wine, and spirits industry for 50 years. “Most people plan their wine around their food. I plan my food around my wine.”
If the pink liquid bug has not bitten yet, prepare to be smitten by 30A Wine’s new Rosé Bubbles. This can embodies everything you want from a refreshing beach beverage. The label and shape cannot be ignored. (Plus, no glass on the beach.)

Cuvee 30A Wine List
“Finding great wine to share is a labor of love. If there is anything that can be considered work, it would be the effort we put toward researching great vintages and working with wineries to get their best price. We spend countless hours to ensure your wines are properly stored and served at the perfect temperature. Some people think we’re a bit compulsive about our wine. We’ll take that as a compliment.”

Take your bottles and glasses and head to the wonderful back porch. Lose all sense of time burning away hours on game night. Or game nights! Shore To Please is brand new, in Inlet Beach, and just steps away from a community pool and a new dock for exploring Powell Lake. A canoe or paddleboard picnic? Here’s to cheese, crackers, a bottle, and a boat.
With a name like Wine Down, this beautiful beach home provides ample opportunities to pop the cork. Including a delightful community pool with plenty of comfy lounge chairs and even some shade. The walk to the beach is easy and short, with no major roads to cross. Think wine picnic!
The third floor of Santa Rosa Beach House on 30A is dedicated to the primary bedroom suite, king, features a huge ensuite bath. Relax in the luxurious Jacuzzi bathtub, gaze at the stars through the large telescope, or step out onto the balcony and take in the views and sounds of the Gulf and The Topsail State Park.
Cheers!
Public beach access across the street. An observation deck three floors up. And a heated spa that spills into a private pool. Having the time of your life yet? Feel the ease of Summer Breeze. I’ll drink to that.
