Forks and Corks, the Sarasota-Manatee Originals' multi-day food and wine festival, has bumped up this year's festivities to late January.

They're priced at $475 each and include a $150 wine voucher for the on-site wine shop, complimentary valet parking, seating and activities at the Forks & Corks VIP Experience tent, as well as early access up to one hour before the event opens for general admission.
