UNwineD

Do you love savoring the robust hoppiness of IPA’s, or the full-bodied maltiness of an amber? Can you detect the subtle hints of tobacco in a Sangiovese or the tropical taste of pineapple in a Sauvignon Blanc? Do you savor the sweetness of Blue Agave tequila? If so, you will not want to miss UNwineD, the premier event of Panama City Beach! 

Named the 2017 Most Innovative Project of the Year by Florida Festivals and Events Association, UNwineD will come to Panama City Beach on March 22nd and 23rd at Aaron Bessant Park for a fun-filled weekend of amazing craft beer, wine and spirits from around the world.

The Venue: Aaron Bessant Park

Aaron Bessant Park is one of the newest parks in Panama City Beach. The park boasts a state of the art amphitheater conveniently situated in the center of the park. The location is perfect for festivals and concerts as it is just steps from the beach. The 70 acre park’s expansive green space is ideal for watching live music performances. The venue is festival seating, so make sure to bring your own lawn chairs or blankets.
