If you’ve ever seen the outstanding movie (and Stanley Tucci’s breakout role) Big Night, this theme might be familiar to you. This is a celebration of Italian food and the classic dishes made well. There’s a saloon pop event, good times, and a feature menu where a portion of net sales will be going to charity.
When: Wednesday, April 13
Garlic Fest Mini-STOMP
The garlic stomp is the signature event of Sorrentino’s Garlic Fest and an expected Edmonton tradition. There will also be a special live performance by Sal Valentinetti, a finalist on America’s Got Talent for jazz singing.
When: Saturday, April 23
Garlic Fest Wine Dinner Week presented by Gabbiano Wine
Likely the smelliest wine dinner you’ve ever been to, the garlic-focused dishes at any of these five dinners in April will be paired with beautiful wines from the Gabbiano Winery.
