SWFL Wine & Food Dinner | Corporate Event
Corkscrew Weddings and Winery had the honor of hosting a private SWFL Wine & Food Fest Chef Vintner Dinner on January 17, 2025—an annual fundraising event supporting children’s charities across Southwest Florida.
Inspired by A Secret Vine Affair, this immersive speakeasy-themed experience—produced by Paradise Hospitality Group—completely transformed our wine bar into a hidden, prohibition-era dining space. Guests arrived in vintage style and were guided through a series of riddles, beginning with a Model T welcome and password-protected valet, leading into a concealed entrance hidden behind a custom-built bookshelf.
Once inside, the space revealed a fully reimagined environment, featuring black-and-white Charlie Chaplin films, live violin performances by Illia Andrishko, and a curated multi-course dining experience paired with wines from around the world.
Events like this showcase the versatility of Corkscrew Weddings and Winery as a premier event venue in Estero, Florida—ideal for luxury private events, themed experiences, and corporate gatherings across Southwest Florida.
