About Us
Our Story
Emerald Coast Winery Tours was founded by Deana Helms, whose love for Florida’s Emerald Coast began long before she called it home. After years of visiting the Panhandle and eventually retiring to this spectacular area, Deana discovered just how many incredible local experiences existed beyond the beach.
Inspired to share those hidden gems, she created Emerald Coast Winery Tours to connect visitors and locals with the area’s wineries, breweries, distilleries, and artisan experiences. While the name began with wine, the vision quickly expanded to celebrate the craftsmanship, flavor, and fun that make the Emerald Coast truly special.
Today, Emerald Coast Winery Tours offers thoughtfully curated group tours with private options available, and even more experiences on the horizon.
