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.
