The 23rd annual Delicious Destinations, Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation’s two-day premier wine and food signature fundraising event, was held at the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 5 and 6.

Guests enjoyed the Delicious Destinations luncheon on Friday, while this year’s main event – the Southern Harvest Tasting Experience – took place the following evening. Guests of the Southern Harvest Tasting Experience enjoyed signature tasting dishes by 13 nationally recognized executive chefs. Each creation was inspired by the South’s bold flavors and warm hospitality.

Guests had the opportunity to meet and mingle with each chef as they passed from one tasting station to the next, pairing their dishes with wine and spirits.

The evening was completed with exclusive live and silent auctions. Proceeds from this event will benefit Ascension St. Vincent’s Mothers and Babies Initiatives, which include advanced neonatal care, Brighter Beginnings and safe sleep education.
