Sostenuto celebrates the Festival’s goals for its sustainable future, and honors the commitment of our hosts, Linda and Fedele Bauccio, to sustainable local food.

BAM is known for its culinary expertise and for pioneering environmentally sound sourcing policies based on a sustainable model that values small local farmers, humane animal treatment and farm worker welfare.
Sostenuto’s culinary delights are created by chefs of the Bon Appétit Management Company: Marco Alvarado, Executive Chef, and chef Holly Winslow, Event Manager, and their professional food and service staff. The signature Sostenuto cocktail and fine wines will accompany appetizers. Beer from from local sources will be served.
Sostenuto is one in a series of culinary events that bring people together each year in celebration of music and the vibrant food and beverages of Mendocino; events that are also one of the principal ways the festival raises funds to ensure its long-term sustainability.
