Vendemmia Wine Festival

The Vendemmia Foundation: Preserving Italian Culture and Fostering Pride in the South Philadelphia Community.

Each year, local and sometimes even regional homemade winemakers enter the Vendemmia competition in any of a dozen categories including among red and white wines. This is a serious competition that has evolved under the auspices of Dr. Jerry Vernose (founder of the festival), Joe Fiola (a specialist in Viticulture from the University of Maryland) and competition coordinator, Vince Novello.

For more information on entering our wine competition, please call 215-551-3859.

For 2025, we will be celebrating the Italian Coaches of the World Champion Eagles & Councilman Kenyatta Johnson. In honor of this, we are happy to announce that the Vendemmia Foundation is donating proceeds from the event to the Eagles Autism Foundation.

If you do business in the Greater Philadelphia area, want to reach a high consumer market, and are interested in donating to the Eagles Autism Foundation by supporting the Vendemmia Wine Festival, please email us at vendemmiawine@gmail.com.
