There is a lot to keep you busy, but it is always best when you plan some of this stuff in advance whenever possible.

Listed in the order they will appear on your calendar:

Savor Sea Pines – February 5th-28th

For the last handful of years, Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island has hosted a month long series of events at various venues on the property and called it Savor Sea Pines. High end wine or whiskey dinners are some of the highlights, but there are also tap takeovers, oysters roasts and brunch. Each event is individually ticketed, so it is easy to enjoy one or maybe more than one.

This year’s Savor will feature a Woodford Batch Whiskey dinner at the brand new Quarterdeck Restaurant in Harbourtown on Friday, February 17th. That is certainly a highlight.
