Foodies of the Gulf Coast Unite at Hotel in Destin, Florida

DESTIN, FL--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2015) - From the Latin phrase "Sic Parvis Magna," or "greatness from small beginnings," is where the South Walton Beaches Wine and Food Festival draws its breath. Thirty years ago, the owner of a small wine store in Sandestin, Chan Cox founded the Sandestin Wine Festival on the sidewalk outside his shop. Since then, it has become one of the most highly regarded festivals in the Southeast, and as of 2013 has expanded to become the South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival.
