At Umbria Hospitality Group, our restaurants are more than places to gather for a meal—they’re spaces for building community. One of our favorite traditions each year is the Turkey Ball at Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar, returning on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, from 6–9 p.m.
The Turkey Ball isn’t just a celebration of food and fellowship—it’s a way to give back during the season of gratitude. Every ticket purchased helps provide Thanksgiving meals to families in need, distributed through our partners at the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. Since the event began in 2018, together we’ve helped feed hundreds of neighbors across the Triangle.
Why We Do It

As a hospitality group, we believe our responsibility extends beyond the walls of our restaurants. Food connects people, and ensuring families have the chance to share a meal during the holidays is central to who we are. Supporting the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle allows us to put that belief into action, helping to provide dignity, comfort, and community at the holiday table.
What to Expect This Year

Guests will enjoy an evening of seasonal bites and drinks, including:
- A live carving station
- A fresh pasta station
- Heavy hors d’oeuvres featuring Mulino favorites
- Wine, beer, and cocktail tastings
Tickets are $60 per guest, which includes two drink tickets. To keep the evening festive and welcoming, attendance is limited to 200 guests.
Sponsorship Opportunities
The Turkey Ball is also a chance for local businesses and organizations to make a meaningful impact. Sponsorship options range from premium reserved seating by the reflection pool to the exclusive Palace Room Sponsorship—a one-of-a-kind opportunity to host up to 28 guests with a sparkling toast, grazing table, and more. Sponsorship not only supports families in need, but also highlights your organization’s commitment to giving back during the holidays.
