Ventosa Vineyards is excited to announce its 20th Anniversary Celebration & Annual Frank Cecere Memorial Fiesta on Friday, September 26, 2025, from 5–9pm. Come celebrate 20 great years with an evening of great food, live music, and friends…while supporting a great cause.
The event will have music, silent auctions with some great items, raffle prizes, a cash bar, and a delicious BBQ dinner by our Executive Chef. Dinner will be available from 5:30–7:30pm and includes your choice of chicken or crab cakes, street corn, mac & cheese, baked beans, and focaccia.
The celebration starts on our South lawn with live music by The Other Side of Normal (5–7pm) under our pavilion. Guests are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and yard games. As the sun sets, the celebration moves indoors where Night Train will take the stage in the banquet room (7–9pm) to keep the party going. Raffle winners will be announced.
Tickets are a $20 donation and are available at VentosaVineyards.com, by calling Ventosa (315) 719-0000 or by stopping in. Join us for a fun evening as we celebrate 20 years of Ventosa Vineyards. All proceeds from ticket sales benefit St. Francis/St. Stephen’s School, helping to subsidize tuition for local students.
About The Frank Cecere Memorial Foundation: the FCM Foundation was established in 1999 with the goal of providing tuition assistance for a Catholic education to area children whose families could otherwise not afford it. Held nearly every year since 1999, the fiesta along with the golf tournament has grown to fund a foundation which, though the generosity of many supporters and sponsors, has donated more than $250,000 to the school.
