About this experience partner:

My appreciation and love of wine was born in New Orleans, a city full of flavor and soul. As a Cellar Master at Legendary Commander’s Palace, I managed the cellar and hosted their Chef’s Table Dinners with Wine Pairings for each course. I learned that every bottle tells a story by working as a sommelier at Pluck Wine Bar and Restaurant.

Fast forward to 30A’s stunning beaches and coastal charm, where I traded city streets for sandy dunes. Here, I found a new purpose bringing the joy of wine to life through retail and private tastings. With Coastal Wine Gal, I get to share my discovery and love of wines from Coast to Coast, blending laid-back luxury with a playful twist on education. Whether you’re a newbie or a connoisseur, it’s all about discovering your next favorite bottle. Here’s to great wine and unforgettable moments.

Coastal Wine Gal is a pleasant experience. Upon arrival you are greeted with a glass of sparkling wine. You are then presented with a beautiful presentation placement of cheeses and wine accessories for learning. After everyone gets settled in you’ll begin with an introduction to Allie the Coastal Wine Gal herself and an ice breaker introducing yourself and what you hope to learn and experience from the class. Overall, what I hope to learn and experience from the class was learning the different varietal wines from Germany and expanding my tasting pallet. That’s exactly what I gathered from the class. I learned and experienced that not all Rieslings are sweet from Germany and there are no wrong answers determining the essence and notes of each glass of wine. I am looking forward to exploring more wines with Coastal Wine Gal!

I attended two tastings hosted by Coastal Wine Gal. The first was focused on Chardonnay, and so much fun that I signed up for her second class on German wines. Both classes were held at Grayton Corner Cafe in Santa Rosa Beach. Allie's events are the perfect blend of fun and education, with Allie creating a casual yet professional atmosphere that felt like hanging out with friends. Her knowledge and approachable style made learning about wine enjoyable. The selections were unique and thoughtfully curated, introducing me to wines I’d never tried before. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just wine-curious, I highly recommend Coastal Wine Gal for a memorable tasting experience.

Coastal Wine Gal offers such a great mix of fun and education. I’ve attended three of her classes covering the wine basics, to discovering how different Chardonnays can taste amazing through regions and changing culinary pairings, to an engaging German wine session where I found a new favorite and a wine region I never knew of! I really appreciate her down-to-earth approach that makes everyone feel comfortable, while still offering depth for those who want to learn more. Each time we leave with a few bottles. Highly recommend! Warmly, Ashton
