Wine & Dine at The Deck,
When: Friday, April 26, 2019
Where: The Deck Beach Bar
Time: 6-9pm
Cost: 75.00
An exclusive multi-course wine-tasting dinner that pairs the perfect wines with each course, from appetizer through dessert at one of Tybee’s newest and most scenic restaurants, The Deck Beach Bar and Kitchen. Nestled within the sand dunes, The Deck will provide the picture-perfect setting for a wine-tasting reception outdoors on the oceanfront deck. And as the sun begins to set, The Chefs from The Deck, The Collins Quarters and The Fitzroy have a scrumptious menu prepared with the freshest local ingredients. Our sommelier will guide you through the courses as he explains the dynamics of each culinary and wine selection and why they work together to make the most exquisite match. We’ll also have a silent auction in which guests can bid on several very special items, from original local artwork to Cuban cigars and rare wines to Gold Savannah Film Festival passes. It’s a wonderfully intimate evening of fine wining and dining at this fabulously popular Tybee restaurant.
Pickin’ & Shuckin’ With Beer & Bubbles

A toast to island style in a sunset evening with roasted oysters and pig pickin’ on the lawn in front of the beautifully restored Tybee Post Theater. Whether your style is standing at the oyster tables and shuckin the night away, or camping out under the big tent with a cocktail and a plate piled high with the best BBQ in the Coastal Empire, this event has something for everyone who loves good eatin’ and drinkin’ and fun company! We’ll have a mountain of oysters from Ambos Seafood, a roasting pig on the spit under the watchful eye of grillmaster Gerald Schantz, and pulled pork and brisket with all the fixin’s from Mike Hosti’s Tybee Market under a big tent for this delightfully casual and fun event.
