Weekends like these make it so easy to repeat this and who wouldn’t be proclaiming their affinity for work when it means spending three days wining and dining throughout South Walton, galavanting from one beach neighborhood to the next sipping fine wines and tasting creatively concocted dishes that are just as delicious as they are presented. Life. Is. Good.
Enough chatting and mouth-watering. Let’s get to the food!
First stop: Seagar’s at Hilton Sandestin
 |
| Started with a brief tour of the Hilton Sandestin before arriving at the elegant Seagar’s Restaurant |
 |
| First Course: Caesar Salad prepare table-side |
 |
| Sizzling steaks at the end of our table. Smelled delicious! |
 |
| The flaming table-side prep of my favorite Bananas Foster. |
 |
| Oh. My. Word. Now this is heaven in a bowl. |
Seagar’s was amazing. The tasting was a sort of tour of the menu, so the portions were perfect to ensure we made it all the way to the dessert. I should note: Not one person had an ounce of leftovers when the plates were collected.
After a full night of sleep to recover and make room for more goodness, we met at Watercolor‘s Fish Out of Water for breakfast the next day. Have you ever been? They have two fun swings in the lobby wait area that are hard to resist. Rachelle Lucas of The Travel Bite was one of our visiting journalists and she and I hit it off. I loved hearing her travel stories and discussing our addiction passion for social media. I have so much Twitter love for you, Rachelle! 🙂 One thing we did not have in common: she is a fabulous cook and as you know, I’m…. culinarily challenged.

From Fish Out of Water, we went on to Mac Farms, a local grower that supplies some of the fresh produce used by many of South Walton’s restaurants. Check out this setup!

| microgreens! |
 |
| Loving Rachelle’s shoes! |
We even took a little souvenir on to our next stop: lunch at Viking Cooking School. This place was wonderful and fascinating and confusing all at the same time. I didn’t know what most of the kitchen gadgets were or how in the world to use them, but it made me want to learn! The instructors were so personable and informative that I actually felt like I could cook a gourmet meal when I left. Yes, they were that good.

| I’ll take this Viking kitchen. |
Delicious red snapper for lunch.
 |
| Our Mac Farms greens! |
 |
| Fresh and tasty |
Definitely felt the need for a quick walk on the beach after that one. Wow, was it good!
Next on the agenda was a trip to the top of the Luau condo at Sandestin for a small taste of this picture perfect view. We sipped champagne, snapped pics and felt like we were on top of the world
 |
| Beautiful! |
From there we went on to the Village of Baytowne Wharf.
 |
| Had to put on flats for this segment. |
 |
| Farmer D produce |
Needless to say, I went home full and happy!
