Savor local flavor during the Forks & Corks Food and Wine Festival. Celebrating its 18th year in 2025, the five-day epicurean event is designed to showcase the palate-pleasing talents of the locally-owned, independent restaurants of Sarasota and Manatee Counties, highlighted by a distinguished cast of international winery owners and winemakers.
Sarasota-Manatee Originals is a community collaborative of independent restaurateurs and culinary innovators committed to uniting the energies of local restaurants and celebrating the food that’s indigenous to our Gulf-coastal lifestyle. Forks & Corks is the organization’s largest annual event and fundraiser.
The 2025 Food & Wine Online Auction promises a swank collection of lots featuring rare and exquisite wines, travel, and one-of-a-kind dining and party experiences made possible by generous donations from wineries and friends of Sarasota-Manatee Originals.
