The Sarasota Wine Festival returns to downtown Sarasota this weekend, on Saturday, March 21, at Five Points Park. The popular event will feature live music, food trucks, local vendors, fine spirits and wine from around the world, offered from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

General admission tickets are $150 and include a souvenir wine glass, tote bag, food truck voucher, craft cocktail samples and other freebies. A VIP ticket is $275 and includes exclusive access one hour before general admission, a private lounge area with tables, dedicated bathrooms, special wines, access to sommeliers, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and a swag bag.

Access to food trucks, vendor booths and live music at the park will be free for those not participating in the wine tasting.

This year, the festival has partnered with Operation Warrior Resolution, a local 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans and their families through holistic wellness programs. As part of that partnership, the festival has offered free vendor booths to veterans.
