QUEST, INC. CELEBRATES 30 YEARS OF WINE QUEST
Signature Fundraiser Supports Central Floridians with Developmental Disabilities

<a href="https://questinc.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Quest, Inc.</a> invites Central Florida to raise a glass on May 8 and 9 at Wine Quest to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this signature fundraiser. 
What began in 1996 as an intimate, wine-paired dinner at the Citrus Club – hosted by Katie Porta and Tico Perez – has evolved into one of Central Florida’s premier philanthropic events. Over three decades, Wine Quest has grown through the support of dedicated community partners, including Southern Glazer’s Wine &amp; Spirits, which joined in 2006 to introduce the event’s popular Grand Tasting experience. 
Today, Wine Quest spans two nights, and this year’s event will be at the Caribe Royale Orlando. Friday’s Grand Tasting Experience will feature more than 60 vendors pouring wines and spirits, along with a silent auction and interactive activities. Saturday’s Premier Wine Dinner &amp; Celebration includes a reception, multi-course meal with curated wine pairings, and live and silent auctions.
Proceeds from Wine Quest benefit Quest’s comprehensive programs serving children and adults with developmental disabilities, including children’s therapy and education, employment training and placement, residential communities, life-skills training and summer camp experiences. Wine Quest 2025 raised more than $450,000.
“As we celebrate 30 years of Wine Quest, we’re honoring the community that has made this mission possible,” said John R. Gill, President and CEO at Quest, Inc. “What started as a small gathering of passionate supporters has grown into a powerful movement. Every glass raised helps create opportunities for children and adults with developmental disabilities to learn, work, and live with greater independence and dignity.” 
Wine Quest tickets – which include complimentary parking – are available:
·Friday’s Grand Tasting Experience: $195
7pm - 10pm


·Saturday’s Premier Wine Dinner &amp; Celebration: $300
6pm - 7pm Bubbly Reception
