On Friday, Feb. 24, at 6 p.m., Crescendo! weekend will begin with a series of curated vintner dinners held in elegant homes and venues throughout the Emerald Coast, which pair the talents of local and regional “celebrity” chefs with some of the country’s most acclaimed vineyards for a delicious evening of food and wine.

This year’s main event is set for Sunday, Feb. 26 at 11:30 a.m. at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa in Miramar Beach, celebrating the cultural and culinary arts by showcasing world-class vintners, expert spirit purveyors, auction items and a musical performance. Enjoy reserved table seating, hors d’oeuvres, a full, seated lunch, live and silent auctions and an all-inclusive afternoon of incredible fun. This year’s theme is, Ebony & Ivory Ball, so please channel your favorite variation of black and white.
“Crescendo! is ‘extra.’ It’s unlike any other annual event we produce. There’s a musical component to it for sure, but it’s really a way to bring people together to raise funds and awareness for our music education and community engagement outreach programs throughout Northwest Florida,” says Sinfonia Music & Artistic Director Demetrius Fuller.
