An Afternoon Italian Style – Celebrating Italian Culture with Family and Friends
Benefiting the NBICF Scholarship Fund

Join us for Pranzo di Ferragosto at D’Argenzio Winery as we celebrate one of Italy’s most beloved summer traditions. Gather with family and friends on the patio for a memorable afternoon featuring a delicious five-course meal of antipasti, salad, pasta, sausage, and dessert. Wine and other beverages will be available for purchase.

In Italy, Ferragosto, celebrated each year on August 15, is one of the country’s most cherished holidays. Long communal tables fill town squares and streets as families and friends come together to enjoy abundant food, great conversation, and the joy of being together. Rooted in both ancient Roman and religious traditions, Ferragosto has become a nationwide celebration of summer, community, and Italian hospitality.

We’ll bring that same spirit to Sonoma Wine Country—with our own special traditions. Enjoy a friendly bocce ball tournament (whether you play or simply cheer from the sidelines), browse our silent auction, and bid on wonderful prizes while supporting the NBICF Scholarship Fund. Every bid helps preserve and promote Italian heritage, culture, and language for future generations.

You’ll also have the opportunity to meet some of our scholarship recipients, hear inspiring family stories, and enjoy live entertainment with Carlo Solivan as we celebrate the rich traditions that connect us all.

Come hungry, bring your friends and family, and join us for an unforgettable afternoon of Italian food, music, laughter, and community.
