The Joe Beretta Foundation Celebrating Their 6-Year Anniversary of Dinner in the Vines Fundraising 

Event on Saturday, June 10, 2023

The Joe Beretta Foundation is pleased to announce that they will be celebrating the 6-year anniversary of their annual Dinner in the Vines fundraising event.  This year’s dinner will take place on Saturday, June 10, 2023, at the breathtakingly beautiful Beretta Vineyard in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee – the town’s only private vineyard.

The evening will boast a delicious Italian meal in an exquisite atmosphere with an open wine bar, an incredible silent auction, and a VIP option. This year’s upgraded VIP experience includes a private wine tasting in the wine cellar, access to the VIP lounge, wine from the tastings, and more.  All wine selections will be hand-picked by a local sommelier. 

Standard tickets are priced at $175 each. VIP tickets, priced at $250 each, have sold out. A Promo code (BERETTA) can be used for $20 off a ticket, and a small fee exists for each ticket at checkout.  Garden party attire is suggested for the evening.

The Joe Beretta Foundation was established to meet the essential, non-medical needs of advanced heart failure patients, caregivers, and their families by providing them with emergency housing and financial stability during times of crisis, as well as emotional support.  Only 4% of hospitals nationwide can treat this disease, so the vast majority of patients must travel long distances to receive life-saving care, resulting in fear, isolation, and financial distress.   

The foundation currently serves patients in five hospitals across two cities, including Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Tristar Centennial Medical Center, and Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital locally. They also serve patients at UPMC Presbyterian and Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, with aspirations of expanding their existing footprint.  Since the foundation’s inception in 2016, they’ve assisted 1,200+ individuals and provided over 2,600 nights of stay for patients and their families.  Their ultimate goal is to build a hospitality home in Mt. Juliet. 

 “Our highly anticipated event has many surprises and exciting additions this year. Our theme is an elegant Tuscan-inspired evening for all of our guests to enjoy,” said Lillian Beretta, President of the Board. “Many of our guests come every year, and we can’t wait for them to experience the upgrades and enjoy another beautiful sunset in the Beretta Vineyard.”
