Save the date for SSF25! We will be back at Discovery Green on October 4, 2025 with more great food, drinks and music to take care of our own. Thank you to everyone who cooked, poured, and attended in 2024. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

Welcome aboard S.S. Decanted: Yachty by Nature—a vintner’s tasting reception and auction where luxury meets purpose—chaired by Chuck and Vanessa Ames. Imagine yourself savoring the finest wines and gourmet delights, with the breezy beats of Yacht Rock and classic Hip Hop setting the perfect backdrop.

Enjoy an expertly curated tasting reception before raising a toast (and a paddle!) to the food and beverage industry at a seated live auction benefiting Southern Smoke Foundation. So gather your friends, dust off your captain’s hats, and join us for an inspiring celebration that toasts to resilience, community, and the power of giving back. Tickets and tables are sold out!
