From January 22–26, 2026, this multi-day celebration will feature exquisite wine dinners, immersive tasting seminars, an exciting online auction, and the iconic Grand Tasting at The Ringling Museum.

We Invite You To Eat Like a Local!

Launched in 2008, Forks & Corks was created by the Sarasota-Manatee Originals—a network of more than 70 independently owned restaurants spanning from Anna Maria Island to Venice. United by a passion for exceptional food and genuine hospitality, our members represent the heart and soul of the Gulf Coast’s dining scene. Together, we invite you to Eat Like a Local and experience what makes our region truly flavorful.

Events sell out quickly each year—especially the Grand Tasting—so early purchasing is strongly encouraged.
