Sofía Vergara Manolo Host NYC Wine Food Festival Grand Tasting

Sofía Vergara and her son Manolo Gonzalez Vergara are co-hosting the Grand Tasting: Daytime Edition at the 18th annual New York City Wine & Food Festival, held October 15–19 in Lower Manhattan’s Seaport district. Their event on October 18 will showcase their family-founded Latin culinary brand, TOMA, which offers empanadas, pandebono, and ham croquettes and has expanded rapidly to over a thousand Walmart stores and various eateries. Both expressed excitement about the event, noting its charitable aspect and the opportunity to introduce TOMA to New Yorkers, with thousands of samples planned for distribution. Beyond their professional collaboration, Sofía and Manolo share a close personal bond, strengthened by their shared cultural connection to food and a supportive co-parenting relationship with Manolo’s father, Joe Gonzalez. Sofía has balanced her rising career with motherhood, maintaining a strong partnership with Joe despite their divorce, while also managing her entertainment ventures and recently ending her marriage to Joe Manganiello. Their story reflects a blend of family, culture, and entrepreneurship centered around food and community engagement.
