One of Greenville, SC’s premier dining locations, Larkin’s
on the River, has been cordially invited as the only out-of-state restaurant to cater a five-course wine
dinner at the Southwest Florida Wine Auction’s Chef Vintner Dinners in Ft.
Myers, FL. The Chef Vintner Dinners, taking place during the Southwest Florida
Wine and Food Fest, will be served by world-renowned restaurants and wineries
in private residences along the Gulf Coast. Larkin’s on the River will be among
these chefs and vintners February 24th-25th as they raise
money for Ft. Myers children and medical charities. Restaurateur and Wine
and Food Fest trustee Sandy Stillwell will be hosting Larkin’s on the River’s
dinner inside her residence for the festival’s honorable guests.
Larkin’s on the River owner Larkin Hammond says that “Larkin’s on
the River is honored to be recognized for the quality of our work and what we
do for the community by being chosen to participate in the Southwest Florida
Wine Festival. To be given the opportunity to showcase the caliber of
restaurants Greenville, SC, hosts and to participate in a great fundraising
effort for a special cause is a great privilege!” Executive team members from
Larkin's restaurants in North and South Carolina will be in Florida to put on
the signature vintner dinner and participate in the wine auction from the 24th to the 25th.
Larkin’s on the River is known in Greenville, SC, for its
generous donations to a wide variety of non-profit organizations and local
school programs over the past few years. The Southwest Florida Wine and Food
Fest will be benefiting The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida, along
with the pediatric and nursing programs of Edison State College and Florida
Gulf Cost University. Almost $3 million has been raised for these organizations
over the past three years during the Wine and Food Fest.
