Haute Spots for Cool Sips
We enjoy sunny skies and warm temps nearly year round here in South Walton and that also means we take our cool sips very seriously!
Grayton Beer Company, Santa Rosa Beach
Tucked in the pines, yet not far from our beloved white sand beaches, Grayton Beer Company 30,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art production facility and Taproom is located at 217 Serenoa Road. The Taproom features a 25-tap draft wall pouring all of Grayton Beer’s year-round styles, as well those special brews you can’t find anywhere else. Bring the whole gang – the Taproom is pet and child-friendly.
Mon-Wed: 9-5 / Thu-Fri: 9-8 / Saturdays 12-6. There’s always something going on in the Taproom. Haute Tip: Be sure to visit GraytonBeer.com for their full event schedule.
Growler Garage, Santa Rosa Beach
Growler Garage offers 40 craft beers ready to enjoy on their patio with toe-tapping live music or take them to-go across the street to the beach. They specialize in regional and Florida microbrews and regularly switch it up, so be sure to visit them often!

South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival, Miramar Beach

The Gathering Spot, WaterColor
The Gathering Spot in WaterColor Inn is a local favorite as well as a hidden gem. With delicious sushi, live local music, and a daily happy hour from 5-6 pm, you are definitely going to want to find your way to this haute gathering spot!

Black Bear Bread Co., Grayton Beach
Since opening last year, this Shops of Grayton spot has been a hopping breakfast, brunch, or lunch go-to. But here’s the thing: their baked goods also pair beautifully with their terrific seasonal wine or local craft beer selections. Sip, sip hooray to that!
Mon-Sat: 7-3 & Sun: 8-3 / @blackbearbreadco / 26 Logan Lane, Unit G
And hands down THE best haute spot for a cool sip? The Beach at sunset of course! Free to the public and open every night (time varies by season) this destination to wet your whistle is a no- brainer. But just remember please – no glass bottles!
