The Forks & Corks Grand Tasting is Sunday, January 24, 2027.
The Grand Tasting is the most sought-after ticket of the Forks & Corks weekend, set in the stunning courtyard and greenspace of the world-renowned Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota. Guests will savor signature dishes from over 40 member restaurants of the Sarasota-Manatee Originals and sample from a curated selection of more than 350 wines from around the globe.
Live musical entertainment adds to the vibrant atmosphere, and guests can also explore the popular wine retail tent, where they can purchase featured wines onsite—making Forks & Corks one of the few festivals in the Southeast offering this unique opportunity.
