Make sure you’ve got an empty stomach and clean palate on Saturday, April 6, because you’re going to need it at the Festa di Vino, going down at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center (6151 H Street) from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Taste wine and food from some of the area’s best wineries and restaurants while enjoying live music from Mind X. Just some of the wineries involved are Bogle, C.G. Di Arie, Michael-David Phillips Vineyard, Sierra Vista Vineyard and more than a dozen others. Participating restaurants include Enotria, Blackbird, Café Vinoteca, Il Forno Classico, Iron Steak and many others. If you get a sweet tooth, you’ll be satisfied by offerings from Cupcake Cravings, Divine Gelateria and Frosting Queens. If you find yourself needing a jolt after all that vino and food, fear not, Peet’s Coffee and Peerless Coffee will both be on hand for your caffeine kicks. Tickets to Festa di Vino are $45, but before you start complaining about how expensive it is, keep in mind this is a charity event raising money for Sierra Forever Families, a Northern California non-profit whose mission is to transform the lives of children in foster care by building and nurturing permanent families.
