What if I told you that one meal could change everything? That is a simple act! Sharing food, pulling up a chair could turn strangers into neighbors and a gathering into a movement? That is the power of The Picnic Project, and that is why Shyne Wayv is honored to support this year’s Taste & Sip event, a culinary experience like no other, happening on March 22, 2025, at the Sanford Civic Center.
This is not just a food event. This is not just about tasting and sipping. This is about belonging.
Since 2009, The Picnic Project has lived by one simple belief: There is enough for everyone, if we all share. What began as burritos under bridges and sandwiches on porches has transformed into a thriving community where meals are provided with dignity, where people find warmth not just in meals, but in human connection.
And let me tell you, this is radical hospitality in action.
Every week, The Picnic Project welcomes the community from all walks of life. Whether someone is in need of a meal, looking for work, or simply craving community, there is always a place at the table. It is a reminder that food is more than sustenance. It is care. It is love. It is a lifeline!
At Shyne Wayv, we don’t just attend events, we elevate stories. We shine a light on the people making a difference, ensuring that their work does not go unseen. That is why we are not just supporting Taste & Sip, we are capturing its essence, its energy, and the moments that make it unforgettable. Through content creation, storytelling, and digital engagement, we will bring this event beyond the walls of the Sanford Civic Center and into the hearts of the community.
Now, let’s talk about the foooooood! Taste & Sip 2025 will feature some of the most incredible chefs, restaurants, and beverage creators in Central Florida.
Attendees will indulge in a diverse range of flavors, from the comforting soul food of Annie D’s to the bold Mexican dishes of Alebrije Mexican Grill, to the smokey perfection of Brothers N Arms BBQ. And let’s not forget the sweet and savory surprises from Tennessee Truffle, Gaucha Empanadas, Wondermade, and so many more.
Pair that with expertly crafted beverages. Whether it’s a local brew from Dees Brothers Brewery, a smooth coffee from Gateway City Coffee Co., or a refreshing sip of kombucha and you have a feast for both the palate and the soul.
General Admission tickets are $50, and VIP access is $75. But here’s what matters most: every ticket purchased directly supports The Picnic Project, ensuring that no one in the community goes hungry.
This event is more than just an afternoon of great food and drink, it is a celebration of what can happen when people come together with open hands and open hearts. It is a chance to support a mission that has provided half a million pounds of food to those in need. It is an opportunity to witness the power of community in action.
So, I ask you, will you join us? Will you pull up, share a meal, and be part of something truly special?
I’ll see you at Taste & Sip 2025. And trust me—this is an event you won’t want to miss.
