The date has not been set yet for our 2026 tent event - but here is what you can expect.

Taste over 100 wines, including award-winning selections from top wineries, and meet the people behind the bottles. Winemakers, winery owners, and representatives worldwide will join us as part of the weeklong Forks & Corks food and wine festivities. This is your chance to hear their stories, ask questions, and gain insider knowledge. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just beginning to explore, this tasting is the perfect opportunity to discover your next favorite wine while connecting with the experts.

Your ticket offers so much more than just wine. Savor artisanal cheeses and meats, thoughtfully chosen to complement the wines, and enjoy specialty bites by Chef Christian. Plus, indulge in a Sarasota favorite—Scott’s legendary 15-hour slow-smoked brisket, prepared to perfection for this event.

Each ticket holder will also receive a souvenir Riedel wine glass and FREE Valet Parking!

This is more than just a wine tasting—it’s one of Sarasota’s most anticipated events, bringing together wine lovers, winemakers, and incredible food. Over the years, it’s become a can’t-miss tradition for locals and visitors alike.

From outstanding wines and gourmet food to a lively and welcoming atmosphere, the Grand Tent Tasting has something for everyone. Gather your friends and join us for an unforgettable afternoon at The Butcher’s Block!
