Guests at the Florida Winefest & Auction Grand Tasting, Brunch and Charity Auction tasted wines from more than 50 wineries, learned the growing methods of several vintners and sampled brunch bites from numerous local restaurants.
After the brunch, event-goers bid on wines, dinners, travel, jewelry and perhaps most notably, “L’Uva Sangiovese di Montalcino,” a 60’ x 68’ oil on canvas painting that featured festival artist William Kelley produced two years ago after visiting Caparzo Vineyard in Montalcino, Italy.
