HELPING OUR KIDS IN OUR COUNTY.Did you know that the Sonoma Harvest Wine Auction provides more charitable
funds than any other event in Sonoma County? When you experience a joyful
afternoon at the Sonoma Harvest Wine Auction you are securing the future for
vital Sonoma County charitable programs.
GIVE A CHILD A FUTURE IF KIDS CAN’T READ, THEY CAN’T SUCCEED Our 2014 fund the future supports essential reading programs that foster
literacy skills and reading comprehension for our at-risk elementary school kids.
In Sonoma County, we believe that strong reading skills lead to a better future.
Currently, more than 50% of Sonoma County’s third grade students read below
proficiency. Your donation to Fund the Future will help dramatically increase the
number of Sonoma County children who learn to read and succeed. By simply
raising your paddle, you can create a ripple effect in a child’s life that leads to a
better future, not only for each of them, but for our community as a whole.
If you cannot attend, but would like to ignite a child’s love of learning
by donating to Fund the Future, ring us at 707.935.0803 x 1.
HONORARY CHAIRSMeet our 2014 Sonoma Wine Country Weekend Honorary Chairs, chosen
for their community leadership and contribution to their profession:
Ferrer Family, Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyard“Our passion for bringing méthode champenoise sparkling wines to Sonoma Valley’s
Carneros was motivated by my father’s dream to make wines in the New World—a
dream I shared with my wife Gloria. When we first visited Sonoma from Spain more
than 40 years ago, we fell in love with its rich wine history and pioneering spirit.
Our family is honored to give back to a community that has become our second home
by co-chairing this extraordinary event.”
—Jose and Gloria Ferrer, Proprietors
Klein Family, Rodney Strong Vineyards“There are no shortcuts to making world-class wine. It requires complete dedication
to quality with outstanding vineyard sites like we’ve got here in Sonoma County.
It also takes committed craftsmen with the right tools in the vineyard and cellar.
Sonoma County is our home, where we live and where we work, and there are no
shortcuts when it comes to supporting our community either. Sonoma Wine Country
Weekend combines a wonderful way to experience Sonoma County while raising
funds to support organizations that benefit our community.”
—Tom Klein, Proprietor
Each one of our Vintners will host a table for the auction, and you can
select your host for the afternoon! They’ll share stories and pour hand-
