What a weekend we had. It all began when we received tickets to attend several of the events during the St. Simons Island Food and Spirits Festival that filled the past week with all sorts of activities. There were cooking classes, wine tastings, samples of all sorts of food with lots of people watching going on.
We attended a wine tasting class on Friday afternoon at which Jacob Gragg, the Sommelier from Sea Island’s Georgian Room, shared six different wines with attendees. My two favorite were a Sauvignon Blanc from Saint Glinglin and a Sandhi Pinot Noir…both delicious!

At the V.I.P. Lunch on Saturday there was no end to the libations, tasty tidbits and fabulous desserts. We tasted buffalo tacos, pan seared grouper, bruschetta, polenta, shrimp risotta and more all served up by local chefs and their talented staffs……ummmmmm, delicious!
The culinary students who study under Chef Matthew Raiford at College of Coastal Georgia did not disappoint with their mini gyro sandwiches, baklava, and brioche strawberry shortcakes….yum!
We tasted whiskey, every flavor of vodka you can imagine.
A bit of real moonshine….that packed a wallop!
We especially like Hendricks Gin and the delicious concoction of plum puree and other goodies mixed with it.
The festival was well attended, everyone enjoyed milling through the marketplace in search of goodies to take home.
What a perfect day for sharing the best of Coastal Georgia and seeing friends!
