Area Daily: Sonoma Wine Country Weekend, California Wine Country’s Wine & Food Festival

Memorial Day is behind us and now you’ve got to get a plan together for that impending bookend to summer’s folly: Labor Day!

Three-day weekends demand a fabulous plan – a plan that preferably incorporates an exciting destination and of course, delicious wine and food …

Enter Sonoma Wine Country Weekend. This year’s Labor Day Weekend (Aug 29-31) plays host to Sonoma Wine Country Weekend, California Wine Country’s premiere wine and food festival. What better way to spend the holiday than noshing with famous Sonoma County winemakers, sipping refreshing libations from wineries across the entire region and hobnobbing on exclusive premises normally closed to the public. Fabulous indeed!

Combining the best of the Sonoma County Showcase of Wine and Food and the Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction, this gourmet weekend features more than 200 wineries and chefs over three days of winemaker lunches and dinners, a grand tasting, and an exciting wine auction renowned for its wild themes and winemaker skits to benefit Sonoma Valley charities.

We say: better get your wine on.
