Here's to Elberta: Town Toast Celebrates Small-Town Spirit

October 9, 2025 | Elberta, AL — On a warm fall evening in Elberta, community members, business owners, and local leaders came together for the second gathering of the Town Toast event series, hosted at Oakley’s Wine Bar & Bistro. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere of Oakley’s set the perfect tone for an evening of conversation, connection, and celebration among neighbors who share a deep love for South Baldwin’s small-town way of life.

Nestled just a few miles inland from the coast, Elberta is a town rich in heritage, hospitality, and heart. Known for its strong agricultural roots, German festival traditions, and growing local business scene, Elberta captures the essence of what makes South Baldwin County so special: tight-knit community, entrepreneurial spirit, and a shared commitment to preserving hometown character while embracing thoughtful growth.

Town Toast is more than a networking series, it’s a movement to highlight and invest in the towns that make up our region’s foundation. When we support our local communities, we strengthen the larger network that connects them all. Each event in this ongoing series is hosted by a business proud to showcase its space and its town, reminding us that the success of South Baldwin’s future begins with the vitality of its individual communities.

We invite residents, business owners, and community advocates to join us at upcoming Town Toast events across South Baldwin! When we invest in our towns, we invest in each other. Keep an eye out for the next stop on our town tour, and come ready to raise your glass to the communities that make South Baldwin shine!
