John & Kristin Hokanson, owners of Fiorelli Winery & Vineyard, have been longtime supporters of Suncoast Charities for Children and our various fundraising events. Previously the local franchise owners of Sonny’s BBQ, the Hokanson’s became involved with Suncoast Charities by being major sponsors of our Thunder By The Bay Music & Motorcycle Festival for many years. In 2021, the Hokanson’s purchased FioRelli Winery & Vineyard and have continued to support our mission of serving special needs children, teens, and adults and their families.
From their recent Red, White & Blueberry Celebration held on Saturday, June 28, 2024, they generously donated a portion of all sales to Suncoast Charities, raising $1,152.00! This event featured drink specials, craft vendors, family friendly fun, live music by One Night Rodeo and ended with a spectacular fireworks display.
If you have not been out to visit their winery, be sure to add it to your list as they feature live music on the weekends, wine tastings, and special events throughout the year! They currently offer 9 varieties of wine ranging from various levels of dry to sweet as well as some fruit wine options. FioRelli also offers event spaces perfect for weddings, showers, birthdays, corporate parties and fundraising events.
