THE SONOMA COUNTY WINE AUCTION BRINGS TOGETHER OUR COMMUNITY OF VINTNERS, GROWERS AND DONORS TO SUPPORT NON-PROFITS ACROSS SONOMA COUNTY.
Named one of the top charitable wine auctions by Wine Spectator, the Sonoma County Wine Auction (formerly Sonoma Wine Country Weekend and Sonoma Harvest Wine Auction) brings wine superstars, local celebrity chefs and honored guests together to invest in our community.
MEET THE SONOMA
COUNTY VINTNERS
For more than 70 years, Sonoma County Vintners has been the leading voice of Sonoma County wine. Our 250+ members range in size from small, family-owned wineries to large-volume corporations. Collaboration is the cornerstone of our efforts, and our strategic partnerships have resulted in a broad spectrum of forward-thinking programs and events. We work closely with the Sonoma County Winegrape Commission and Sonoma County Tourism to build the profile of Sonoma County as a distinctive grape-growing and wine-producing region. From informal winery tastings and tours to Sonoma County’s signature, charitable event, the Sonoma County Wine Auction, our efforts shine the spotlight on Sonoma County as an internationally recognized wine region.
