The entire team of Florida Winefest & Auction would like to welcome you and your guests to our 22nd annual event. Please join us in Sarasota, Florida April 12-April 15, 2012 for fine wines, great food and lots of fun.

The Florida Winefest & Auction is organized by a group of dedicated volunteers to be a first-class fun event which helps children in need. Over the past 21 years, we have awarded more than $7.5 million in grants to more than 76 charitable children’s programs in our community. As a volunteer-based organization and one paid staff member, we work year-round offering support, inspiration and motivation for children to reach their fullest potential.

Enjoy a world-class food and wine experience all in one place over a long weekend. It is a perfect opportunity to entertain your family, friends or clients. David Elswood, Guest Auctioneer/Christie’s International Head of Wine Sales/ Christie’s London says that the Florida Winefest & Auction is “America’s Friendliest Winefest” and “a wonderful food and wine charity experience unparalleled in the United States.”

Please plan to join us for a great time in Sarasota, Florida this year.

FWA is 501(c)3 charity.
