Good Bite

 Sarasota-Manatee Originals is inviting guests to experience the region’s dining scene in a whole new way with the launch of the newly reimagined Originals Culinary Tour, formerly known as The Blend Trolley Tour. The Originals Culinary Tour is Sarasota-Manatee Originals’ signature food-and-wine trolley experience, a curated culinary crawl designed for true food lovers, spotlighting standout restaurants, artisanal dishes, and perfectly paired wines throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. Guests hop aboard the trolley for a progressive tasting experience featuring multiple restaurant stops, curated wine pairings, and behind-the-scenes storytelling from the chefs and wine experts behind each pairing. Each tour includes five chef-crafted dishes with wine pairings, trolley transportation between restaurant stops and a $20 wine credit at the conclusion of the tour. Tips and gratuities included. The result is an immersive evening celebrating the creativity, hospitality, and culinary diversity that define Sarasota-Manatee Originals’ independent restaurant community. Purchase tickets and learn more at eatlikealocal.com/originals-culinary-tour/.
