The 7th Annual Suncoast Winefestival is the “Must Be There” event of the fall season. It will feature over 300 American and international wines, foods from more than 30 of the area’s best restaurants, cooking demonstrations by well-known area chefs, live entertainment, and free parking---all included in the ticket price!

Our 2007 Suncoast Winefestival was a huge success thanks to all of our support from sponsors, wine distributors, restaurants, and attendees. With blue skies and perfect temperatures, nearly 2100 people celebrated fine wines and great food while raising more than $131,000 for area charities and other Rotary projects. The Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch is proud to have raised more than $500,000 for charities through this signature event. The 2007 proceeds were distributed to 22 charities selected from 54 applicants who applied by December 31, 2007 (see “ Charities Supported ”)
