Each year, in April, Florida Winefest & Auction, Inc. hosts a week-long food and wine festival to raise funds that support programs for local children’s charities. Florida Winefest has raised more than $6.6 million to local charities.

Last year more than 6,000 people attended Florida Winefest, held at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota.

Since 1991, the good times and good tastes of the Florida Winefest & Auction have entertained and enlightened participants while always remaining a party with a purpose: enriching the lives of our area's disadvantaged children.
