The highly anticipated Seaglass Rosé Festival returns to Fort Lauderdale Beach from January 26 to 28
Fort Lauderdale, FL - From January 26 to 28, the Seaglass Rosé Festival will return to Fort Lauderdale Beach, showcasing over 30 varieties of rosés from around the world. The Seaglass Rosé Experience is an immersion into a pink paradise like you've never seen before: with sea breezes, sand beneath your feet, tropical aromas, and all the pink vibes of the beach you can imagine. Join us in this expansive waterfront setting filled with indulgent fun and enjoy over 30 varieties of rosés, spirits, craft beers, celebrity chefs, music, and much more! A portion of all event proceeds will go to AutoNation's DRV PNK to raise funds for cancer research and treatment in South Florida.
"Seaglass captures the essence of Greater Fort Lauderdale with its irresistible sand-in-hand and rosé atmosphere. It provides a wonderful opportunity for visitors to meet and mingle with members of our very diverse and eclectic local community," says Stacy Ritter, President and CEO of Visit Lauderdale. The photogenic Fort Lauderdale Rosé Festival is expected to be bigger than ever in 2024, which is why the organizers had to move its location to a larger part of Fort Lauderdale Beach.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Seaglass Rosé Experience will occupy the sands in front of Bahia Mar as its home for three days, from Friday, January 26, to Sunday, January 28. The festival features over 30 varieties of rosés from around the world.
Seaglass founder, Carlos Suarez, reveals that he created the festival in 2020 when only a few events were being held on the beach, so he dreamed of something elegant, fun, and with a good cause. It seems he succeeded. "This started as an idea five and a half years ago, and many things led me to this idea... my love for Fort Lauderdale and my love for the beach being right up there." According to event director Michele Addison, in recent years the event has attracted over 3,000 weekend attendees. This year, there are two evening sessions (Friday and Saturday) and one daytime session (Sunday). General admission tickets for a single day are available for $150 and include unlimited food and beverage tastings. For an additional $50, VIP admission includes early access for one hour, a designated VIP area with a bar, and exclusive snacks. Weekend passes are also available, starting from $360.
"The experience truly begins as soon as you set foot on the sand," says Addison. "You're greeted with a rosé drink right there, there are Instagram moments everywhere, and you can hear the music playing. It really has a nice flow throughout."
The Seaglass Rosé Experience takes place on the sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, right in front of the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, 414 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304. The event runs from January 26 to 28, 2024.
