The 2025 edition of UNwineD, presented by Publix, is a two-day Southern-style garden party featuring wine and spirits and delicious, chef-prepared culinary masterpieces. Held at Aaron Bessant Park, the event begins with a grand afternoon tasting inside a meticulously decorated tent. The Friday night kickoff party, which is hosted by Southern Living Magazine, is limited to 250 guests.
The Grand Tasting is the opening for the entire weekend, and guests enjoy chef-prepared foods and refreshing drinks. Next, you’ll enjoy the Friday Kickoff Party, which includes DJs playing music and cocktails prepared by mixologists, in addition to food. Saturday features the Concert in the Park, including live musical performances. All attendees must be at least 21 years old, which means you should bring your driver’s license or other official form of identification with you.
