The 3rd Annual "Food and Wine on Pine" event is hitting the stunning coastal Anna Maria Island on 4th May 2013. To the soothing sounds of blues and jazz, stroll along the historic Pine Avenue sampling outstanding locally produced foods and sipping fine wines.  

Not only is Anna Maria Island one of the most beautiful destinations on the Gulf Coast of Florida, it is also a hub of art and culture to fit all tastes. There will be over 30 unique musical performances including folk, jazz, reggae, bluegrass, classical, blues and even a traditional bag pipe performance for the Scottish fans! The performances will take place along the picturesque avenue with bespoke art work featuring traditional and modern paintings and sculptures displayed at street stalls and on the house's traditional Florida porches.

Exploring will work up an appetite and what better way to re-charge than visiting a choice of 25 locally owned, independent restaurants. Visitors can enjoy mouth-watering seafood and sample lobster, crab and shrimp straight off the boats, washed down with first class wine and a variety of locally brewed beers.

Seven nights at Sunrise Garden Resort, Anna Maria Island costs from £1,120 per person, based on two adults travelling. This includes fully inclusive economy car hire and return flights from London Gatwick to Tampa with British Airways based on travel on Wednesday 1st May 2013.
