FERRAGOSTO! Aug. 30

Kids under 12 are free!

Cittavino & Co. celebrates Ferragosto every year, the epitome of the Dolce Vita that us Americans long after, but have no idea how to truly live- our go go go lifestyle cannot comprehend. Cittavino brings back inspiration from our visits to farmers and winemakers in Italy and capitalizes on California's Summer bounty. This year, the theme is western Sicily. The Island's cosmopolitan history is varied across its terrain- from grape varieties to your favorite dishes, they are all a culmination of thousands of years of various peoples and traditions.

6 wines + a passed, western Sicilian tasting menu

Menu goes live August 20th! discounted Early Bird tickets available until August 18th

* The entry ticket includes all food and the welcome drink. The wine pairings are part of the all inclusive ticket. The food (and drink if you buy an all inclusive) is all you can eat!
