The Sarasota-Manatee Originals is a group of locally owned restaurants who share a passion for dining excellence

and commitment to our community.

Food, wine, sun, music and all that goes with the annual Sarasota-Manatee Originals Forks & Corks Grand Tasting. This is without question, Sarasota’s premier culinary event. And, they have lapped the competition. It’s a feast of some of Sarasota’s best food accompanied by some of the best wines from around the world.

Miami isn’t the only Florida city that knows how to throw a culinary celebration. Sarasota...

holds its own...the Grand Tasting at Forks & Corks...brings together the wine-os

and the foodies for four days of imbibing

and noshing.”

A merethree minutes was all it took

for all 1,500 tickets to be sold to avid fans. No this wasn’t for the

hottest new show on Broadway, or a Taylor Swift or One Direction concert. This was the Forks &

Corks Food and Wine Festival...tickets to the main event:

The Grand Tasting.

SRQ Magazine

This is on our calendar every year much like Thanksgiving, Christmas or July 4th. It is a fantastic day spent with a group of friends, sampling the best food from Sarasota’s exciting culinary scene, top-flight wines, all in the one-of-a-kind setting in the courtyard of the Ringling Museum of Art.
