Since its inception in 2006, the Santé South Wine & Food Festival has grown into the largest wine and culinary extravaganza in the state of Mississippi. A destination event and international showcase, Santé South features many of the world’s premier wines and Mississippi’s most succulent culinary delights. Santé South affords a rare opportunity for guests to speak directly with boutique winemakers and features more than 120 exceptional wines and fine food samplings from many of Mississippi’s top restaurants.

Founded by Norm Rush of Beaumad & Associates, Santé South benefits The MIND Center at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and has helped to raise more than $1.5 million to advance the delivery of Alzheimer’s care and support services, educational programming, and research in our state.

This year’s event will support The MIND Center’s capital project, a centralized clinic for leading-edge geriatric and memory care. With over 30,000 square feet, The Fred R. Adams, Jr. MIND Center and Geriatric Clinic will provide space for current and future patient growth and will positively impact the function, independence, well-being, comfort and quality of life for older adults and persons with Alzheimer’s and dementia in Mississippi while supporting the needs of families and caregivers.
