Every year, when it’s winter in the Northeast USA, there is typically still plenty of warmth in the sunshine state. As such, Florida plays host to a number of outdoor beach festivals in the early months of the year. Such is the case with the Seaglass Rose’ Wine Experience that takes place in Fort Lauderdale on the beach January 26 through 28, 2024. Making the event even more timely is the fact that Corum watch company is a co-sponsor.
Seaglass: A Fort Lauderdale Rose’ Experience is an immersive event, with dozens of rose’ wine vendors from around the world doling out tastes of their finest pink champagnes, rose’ wines and ingenious concoctions thereof. Wearing pink in some form or other is a necessity and the décor’ inside the tents and outside is all about roses – especially pink, white and red. There is even a culinary tent to indulge in fresh Florida foods created by great local chefs.
It isn’t all about wine tasting, though. The rose’ paradise is also a charitable component to the event, with the hosts supporting local organizations that help create awareness of breast cancer and support breast cancer research. This ties in beautifully with the pink theme. Additionally, the organizers of the festival support environmental ocean conservation.
As to sponsors, Corum this year will showcase an immersive photo activation nearby the stage (where live music rocks) where guests can don props and select backdrops to add a little more fun and for take-away memories. The event takes place Friday night and Saturday night and culminates on Sunday. Tickets per day range from $150 to $5,500 if you want an entire cabana to yourselves.
