LOUDONVILLE, NY – Siena University's Festa Vino, the Capital Region's annual premiere food, wine, and spirits celebration, returns for a 24^th installment on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m. Held in the Callanan Field House located in the Marcelle Athletic Complex, proceeds from Festa Vino benefit both the Saints Alive! Athletic Fund – which directly supports Siena's more than 350 student athletes – as well as the University's Annual Fund.
 
Presented by Siena University and All Star Wine & Spirits, Festa Vino features a wonderful evening filled with delicious bites, great drinks, and even better company. Guests will enjoy tastings from some of the Capital Region's top restaurants, wineries, breweries, and spirit makers all coming together to support Siena's Education for a Lifetime. Siena student athletes help work the event and will be present to mingle and interact with patrons.
 
Siena is still accepting sponsorships for Festa Vino, offering a distinct opportunity to demonstrate commitment to the University while engaging clients, colleagues, and community partners. This year's enhanced sponsorship opportunities – which range from a $2,500 supporting partner sponsorship all the way up to a $15,000 premier sponsorship – provide meaningful visibility through a new interactive event app and access to the new VIP Lounge at qualifying levels.
 
Admission to this signature annual event is $100, with tickets purchased online at siena.edu/festavino. Admission for Siena young alumni (graduates from class years 2017-26) is $80.  
 
Proceeds from Festa Vino strengthen the Saints Alive! Athletic Fund – the primary fundraising arm for Siena Athletics – which directly impacts all student athletes, coaches, and their programs, helping further the mission of "Building Better Saints."
