Mariani Anniversary Dinner & Reception

In July 2005, 300 friends, associates and relatives of Paul A. Mariani celebrated his legacy at the 100^th Anniversary of Mariani Fruit Packing Co., Inc. in Vacaville, CA.   Held in the company’s warehouse, the event featured ten decades of historical displays, a 1950’s pick-up truck filled with dried fruit, a video presentation, dinner with Mariani fruit-inspired recipes, and hand painted memento ornaments.  More than 200 live fruit trees, enhanced by flickering faux candle light and a leaf pattern ceiling, transformed the dining area into an orchard.  Four generations of Mariani’s reunited for the first all family photo in 50 years.
