Sea Pines announces Hilton Head’s newest festival. Check out the lineup

A new festival is coming to Hilton Head Island.

Savor Sea Pines, billed as a month long celebration of food, wine and spirits in some of the most iconic locations on the island, starts Feb. 1 and runs through Feb. 27.

The series of events — including dinners, tastings, demonstrations, and classes — will use venues throughout The Sea Pines Resort such as Fraser’s Tavern, Links: an American Grill, Coast, The Quarterdeck and the Harbour Town Clubhouse. The festival also includes a tour and tasting of the new Burnt Church Distillery in Bluffton.

“We are so pleased to have an opportunity to present this one-of-a-kind celebration,” said Matthew Roher, Director of Food and Beverage. “We have assembled a collection of guest chefs, sommeliers, wine and spirits companies, and others to join us for a wide range of distinctly Sea Pines events.”

Guest chefs, brew masters and vinters from Charleston, Charlotte, Atlanta will be showcased. Special occasions, including Super Bowl LV and Valentine’s Day, have culinary events planned to match.

The news release on the festival said many of the events will be held outdoors in open areas and called the festival “COVID-conscious.” The events held indoors will take place in large venues like ballrooms to provide space for social distancing, the release says.

Attendance is limited at each event and temperature checks will be conducted prior to admittance.

You can purchase tickets for individual events on the festival’s website.

On Feb. 13, the festival will hold a “Farewell to The Quarterdeck,” the signature restaurant located next to the Harbour Town lighthouse. The restaurant will close to be demolished and completely redeveloped.

A new Quarterdeck will open in spring 2022, according to previous reporting from The Island Packet.
