Concorso Italiano is excited to announce a new feature to this year’s event.  Two of our sponsors – Esser Wines and Papa Vince – will be hosting a special tastings pavilion available to all attendees of Concorso.

Esser Wines will be offering complimentary tastings of their award winning wines.  These local wines are sourced from grapes grown on environmentally sound and sustainably farmed vineyards in the cool Central Coast/Monterey Valley region of California. The wines have won multiple Gold & Silver Medals and a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy!

Papa Vince is famous for their farm fresh foods from Sicily, Italy.  This authentic Family owned Sicilian Italian Olive Oil, was started by Vince who learned the art of making Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) when working as an apprentice for the Knight of De Stefani at the Medieval Castello of Rampinzeri, Santa Ninfa, Italy.  Over the generations they have expanded to sauces, pastas and other Italian treats, and will have samples to tantalize your palate.
