Calvanese Foundation Beer and Wine Tasting Festival

By April 17, 2025

The 16th annual Calvanese Foundation Beer & Wine Tasting Festival will take place at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville on July 17. The event benefits the Joe & Kay Calvanese Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of individuals in the Southington community through donations to charitable causes, organizations and schools. Co-sponsored by Southington’s Worldwide Wine & Spirits, the event featured samples of beer, wine and spirits from more than 50 vendors, with VIP access to a separate Premier Tasting section offering tastes of high-end wine and spirits. Guests can pair beverage tastes with food by the Aqua Turf Club and several local food trucks. The Joe & Kay Calvanese Foundation, a 501(c)(3) since 1996, honors the legacy of the late Joe and Kay Calvanese, who founded the Aqua Turf Club, and their long-standing commitment to community.
