The Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation is excited to announce a new event, Blind Wine Voyage, to be held from 6:00 -9:00 p.m. on Thursday September 30th, upon SunQuest Cruise’s SOLARIS yacht.

How it Works: Teams of 1-3 people will bring a three matching bottles of red wine. The first two bottles will be collected, disguised, and set out for tasting and voting. Then, attendees will have the opportunity to compete and vote in this “blind wine” contest.

Each team’s third bottle is set aside unopened to later be awarded as the “Grand Prize” to the winner of the blind wine tasting. So teams, choose your entry carefully. One lucky sailor’s going home with over 40 bottles of wine!
