S A N D B A S H 2 0 1 2 - Fort Myers Beach Sand Bash - Master Sand Sculpting Competition and Wine Tasting Festival

MASTER SAND SCULPTING EXIBITION
Featuring mind-blowing sculptures created by Top Master Sculptors
from around the world.

"An exhibit sculpture of this size has never been created
on Fort Myers Beach"

Over 200 tons of sand under a "HUGE" tent will be sculpted highlighting the top movies from the 30's to today. Plus a special section for the kids, Disney's top movies....

Unlike anything you've ever seen before!!!

WINE TASTING FESTIVAL
Get friends and family together to experiment with new or unusual
wines by sampling a range of wines.

It's an amazing experience, especially if you have never had the chance to go to a “wine tasting, or if you have never had the chance to meet one-on-one with visionary wine types! Consulting winemaker’s will be onsite!

Learning about wine is a fascinating experience, full of new flavors, new places, new friends who share your interest in wine. Learning how to taste wines is a straight forward adventure that will deepen your appreciation for both wines and winemakers.

Starting with your basic senses, you can smell thousands of unique scents, but your taste perception is limited to salty, sweet, sour and bitter. It’s the combination of smell and taste that allows you to discern flavor.

So whether you’re an educated wine drinker, or just learning……

What better setting than on the beach!!
