Windermere hosts annual Wine & Dine

Hundreds of guests sipped and dined their way around the lawn of Windermere Town Hall Saturday, Feb. 4, at the town’s annual Wine & Dine event. Thirtyone restaurants — such as The Oceanaire Seafood Room, STK Steakhouse, Highball & Harvest and The Boathouse — set up tents and food stations to serve up everything from barbecue, pizza and pot pie to seafood, steak and spirits. Guests danced to a variety of music and checked out several of the latest cars and boats.

Proceeds from the event are granted to nonprofits such as West Orange Dream Center, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, One Purse and the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestras.
