Tickets On Sale Now for Taste of Key West and Vintners Dinner — Two Signature Events Supporting AH Monroe’s 40th Year of Community Care

Taste of Key West returns to Truman Waterfront Park on March 23, 2026, bringing together the Keys’ culinary community in support of AH Monroe.

Key West, FL (January 29, 2026) — Tickets are now on sale for Taste of Key West and the Vintners Dinner, two signature fundraising events hosted by AH Monroe as part of its 40th year serving the Florida Keys community.
 
Together, the events invite residents and visitors alike to gather through exceptional food, drink, and shared purpose —supporting AH Monroe’s mission of providing health, housing, and hope throughout the Keys.
 
Taste of Key West returns on Monday, March 23, 2026, transforming Truman Waterfront Park into a lively evening celebration of the Keys’ culinary community. The event is free and open to the public, with tasting tickets available for purchase for those who wish to sample food and beverages from participating restaurants and partners.
 
Guests can choose from several ticket options, including the popular Two for Taste Pass, designed for couples and friends to share the experience. A limited number of VIP Passes are also available, offering an elevated experience with exclusive tent access, unlimited tastings, sommelier-led moments, butler-passed hors d’oeuvres, commemorative keepsakes, and flexible VIP seating.
 
The Vintners Dinner offers a distinct and more intimate experience. An iconic event returning this year, the limited-capacity evening takes place at the beautiful and historic Williams Hall in Key West and is guided by The Art of Tasting — a chef-curated approach to food and wine in support of AH Monroe’s work. While different in scale and setting, the dinner shares the same purpose as Taste of Key West — strengthening the health and wellbeing of the Keys community. 
 
“As we mark 40 years of caring for the Florida Keys community, these events are about inviting people into that story,” said Scott Pridgen, Executive Director of AH Monroe. “Whether you join us at Taste of Key West or the Vintners Dinner, your participation helps sustain the work that shows up for our community every day.”
 
Founded in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, AH Monroe has grown over four decades to provide a broad range of health and housing services for individuals and families across Monroe County. While the organization’s work has evolved, its commitment to inclusive, community-centered care has remained constant.
 
Taste of Key West is made possible with the support of community partners, including the Tourist Development Council, Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), local restaurants, sponsors, volunteers, and vendors who help bring the event to life each year.
