WE ROLLED OUT SOMETHING NEW AT THE 2018 FORKS & CORKS FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL!

Forks & Corks Food and Wine Festival is a fabulous event the Sarasota-Manatee Originals organizes each year. Popular enough for tickets to sell out in a matter of minutes, it goes without saying what an attraction it is for the area. The festival brings together over 50 local and diverse food and wine vendors from the Sarasota-Manatee Originals, including Anna Maria Oyster Bar. The Sarasota-Manatee Originals is a group of locally owned restaurants who share a passion for dining excellence and commitment to our community.

The festival weekend is filled with tastings and seminars, but the highlight is definitely the Grand Tasting in the gorgeous courtyard at the Ringling Museum. In typical Florida fashion, however, the weather can have a mind of its own… even in the beautiful month of January! Luckily, a back up plan was engaged and the venue changed to Feld Entertainment Studios and it was simply amazing! It was a great call because it began to rain at 1:30pm the day of the Grand Tasting! Feld Entertainment provided a fantastic location to keep vendors and visitors safe from the weather. Feld Entertainment, located in Palmetto, is a world leader in spectacular live entertainment with notable shows like Monster Jam and Disney on Ice.

With such a grand event, we thought of what better time to roll out our BRAND NEW Tequila Lime Oysters for the first time! Margarita lovers, this one’s for you. Stop by any O-Bar location to try out these tasty new oysters for yourself… Forks & Corks guests became raving fans!
