MOUNT DORA, Fla., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- To raise funds for the Marine
Corps' Toys for Tots campaign, the Mount Dora Lodging Association will present
the Second Annual March of Wines on Sunday, December 14, 2008 from 5 to 9 pm,
in downtown Mount Dora. The progressive holiday wine tasting will tour five
festively-adorned inns, including the Heron Cay, Farnsworth House, Captain's
Inn, Adora Inn, and Tremain Street Cottages.
The spirit of the holidays begins as Christmas carolers from the Warren
Acting Company greet guests boarding an old-fashioned trolley. Arriving at the
inns, guests will sample a selection of regional wines provided by the Wine
Den, Maggie's Attic, and Wine Cellars of Mount Dora. Showcased wines will be
paired with select finger foods and desserts prepared by restaurateurs the
Goblin Market, Frosty Mug, 5th Avenue Cafe, One Flight Up, and Saucy Spoon
Catering. Wrapping up the tour, Victorian-costumed carolers from the First
Presbyterian Church will entertain with songs of the season.
Many guests will leave for home carrying their own Christmas gifts
courtesy of Mount Dora merchants, restaurateurs, and innkeepers who are
donating exclusive raffle items such as bed and breakfast gift certificates,
decorated gift baskets, complimentary dinners, wine packages, salon treatments
and more.
"Last year's event was a big hit," says John Cataldo, president of the
Mount Dora Lodging Association. "Not only was it a sellout, we filled two SUVs
with toys and donated a $1,000 in cash. This year with more inns participating
we're hoping to contribute even more to Toys for Tots.
"Tickets for the 'March of Wines' holiday tour are $50 per person and
limited seating is available. Attendees are encouraged to bring a new
unwrapped toy donation for Toys for Tots. For more information and to reserve
your seat now, contact the Adora Inn at (352) 735-3110.
