Wine World at WaterColor

Wine World is pleased to announce the mid-February opening of Wine World at WaterColor. The WaterColor venue will offer extensive, diverse and value oriented retail selections of wine, beer, and cheese along with related accessory items.  Modeled after the popular and successful flagship Destin operation, but tailored for WaterColor, this new location also incorporates a sophisticated, yet informal, wine bar and a separate family-friendly restaurant.  The total experience will be unparalleled in the 30A market, particularly the non-resort pricing!  The concept is to deliver universally appealing and price conscious products and services to WaterColor and 30A residents and visitors, adult and family alike.

“We work very hard to offer our clientele the best possible shopping and dining experience at the best possible prices,” says owner Chan Cox. “30A is long overdue for a value oriented, retail store and restaurant. We feel very positive that locals and vacationers alike will come to recognize the store as a well loved fixture along these world famous beaches.”

Chan, with over 30 years of food & beverage experience, brought together a team of wine, cheese and food professionals to customize operations to suit the 30A market, leveraging the successes and qualities of his other locations.  The team features international wine and cheese expert Michel Thibault, culinary master and cookbook author Alison Porter and former Criolla’s general manager Tim Kinderman, all experienced in meeting the expectations and needs of 30A residents and visitors.

Largely a local family owned and operated enterprise, the cornerstone is their retail wine business, offering Northwest Florida’s most comprehensive and best priced wine selection accompanied by virtually unequaled customer service.  Long before issues with the economy, Wine World focused on finding wines offering the best price-to-quality ratio available.  This practice continues today, it is simply their way of doing business.  Wine World has greatly impacted the average wine consumer’s lifestyle by enriching their experience and broadening their wine comfort zone.

Wine World at WaterColor will offer both adult and family-friendly fare including grab-n-go breakfast items, fresh baked goods, Seattle’s Best coffee, pizzas, Panini’s and Chef Alison Porter’s gourmet lunch, dinner and tapas menu items.

While known for its impeccable wine selection, Wine World at WaterColor will also offer over 70 selections of interesting and quality cheeses, salami, prosciutto, Serrano ham and pates, as well as gourmet snacks, olives, sweets and other grocery items for your enjoyment and convenience.  Among other products and services, Wine World offers a wide variety of wine accessories including glassware, corkscrews, decanters and more. Customized gift baskets and party planning services for any budget are available.

Wine World has extensive experience in event planning and management, such as Chan Cox’s role as founder and continuing moving force behind the Sandestin Wine Festival, soon entering its 25^th anniversary as well as numerous other major wine, food and cheese commercial and charity events.   Wine World plans to use its expertise and resources to elevate interest in and benefit the community as a result of community based events.
