Conservation Florida is partnering with Wekiva Island to host a special Valentine’s-inspired wine & paint experience — celebrating all the reasons to fall in love with Florida.
Whether you’re bringing your bird-loving best friend, your swamp-obsessed sweetheart, or treating yourself to a solo creative night, this evening invites you to slow down, sip something bubbly, and connect with wild Florida.
You’ll be guided by local artist Peter Pettegrew through a nature-inspired painting, surrounded by the beauty of the Wekiva River.
Your ticket includes:
🍷 Two glasses of wine
🧀 A personal curated charcuterie spread
🎨 All painting supplies and personal instruction from artist Peter Pettegrew
🖼️ Your completed masterpiece to take home
💧 An evening by the river, surrounded by Florida beauty
🌿 And most importantly - a chance to give back to Florida’s wild places through Conservation Florida's land protection
Wekiva Island is preparing for the annual Wekiva Paint Out. This event offers a meaningful way to celebrate a shared love for nature, art, and conservation.
