Sarasota Speed Dating for Singles Age 55+ ♥ Florida at VINO BISTRO

Each conversation lasts six minutes at this speed-dating night for singles 55 and over. Participants meet at least five and as many as 12 prospective matches in one-on-one "pre-dates." Afterward they tell the organizer whom they would like to see again, and the company handles the follow-up. Pre-Dating, which says it has run more than 38,000 events since 2001, holds this one at Vino Bistro on Fifth Street in the Rosemary District. Theresa LaSalle opened the wine bar in 2021 in the former Lolita Tartine space. The room is small and known for an eclectic wine list, small plates and frequent live music.
