You have just one month to make travel plans for Panama City Beach’s UNwineD Culinary Festival, April 3–4. Now in its 10^th year, the event combines food, wine, spirits, beer and live entertainment for a relaxed two days spent sampling some of the South’s best bites.

On April 3, the kickoff party is an exclusive event with tickets limited to 250 attendees. Tickets are $195 and, in addition to access to the kickoff party, you’ll also get early access to Saturday’s grand tasting and a V.I.P. gift bag. The party is adults only.

The main event, though, is the grand afternoon tasting April 4. General admission is $85 and attendees spend the afternoon sampling drinks and food from attending chefs and brands. Wine seminars, cooking demonstrations and live music are also planned, and there’s an art and vendor row, where attendees can shop for local artwork and items from similar local businesses.

If you want early entry to the tasting, but don’t plan on attending the kickoff party, you can purchase an early-entry ticket for $115, which also comes with access to a meet-and-greet with a guest chef and sommelier.
