What’s more fun than traveling for a culinary event? One that incorporates wildlife … on an island. Enter Whiskey, Wine & Wildlife hosted by The Westin on Jekyll Island, Georgia, Feb. 6–9, 2020. Bring your adult children along or escape for a fun beach getaway. Either way, stay hungry!
W3 blends all kinds of beverage tastings, including beer, spirits, whiskey, wine and artful cuisine, from some of the best chefs in the South. Taste delights from local culinary superstars, sip libations and enjoy the wild terrain of Jekyll Island — all with an up-close wildlife encounter.
Check out the full list of events:
