Lee County’s most prestigious and profitable fundraiser is mere days away. Southwest Florida Wine & Food Fest kicks off Friday night with 10 exclusive vintner dinners that will be held in homes around the area.
More than a dozen local chefs are kicking things into high gear in anticipation of these dinners, and of the Grand Tasting and Auction to be held Saturday at Miromar Lakes Beach Club. The festival has raised more than $11.6 million for the Golisano Children’s Hospital, Florida Southwestern State College’s pediatric nursing program and Florida Gulf Coast University’s music therapy program.
