Sonoma County Wine Celebration September 18th-20th

The live charity auction, which raises funds to support nonprofits across Sonoma County, will be hosted on Saturday, September 20 at the stunning Cline Family Cellars. The historic winery holds a special place in the hearts of SCVF and previous auction guests as one of the original host venues for this impactful philanthropic event.

Included in the Sonoma County Wine Celebration ticket package is a welcome reception hosted at Bricoleur Vineyards on Friday afternoon to kick off the auction festivities and allow guests to meet participating vintners and the people who make a difference in so many lives across Sonoma County.

A collection of additional interactive experiences taking place around Sonoma County during September 18 & 19 are available for guests to enjoy as add-on or single event ticket selections.

Sonoma County Wine Celebration brings the region’s most renowned vintners together alongside distinguished collectors and generous bidders for an opportunity to acquire some of Sonoma County’s top wines and bid on incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, for the purpose of giving back to the Sonoma County community.

The mission of Sonoma County Wine Celebration is to support nonprofit organizations throughout Sonoma County focused on literacy & education, health & human services, the environment, and arts & culture. Named one of the nation’s top charitable auctions by Wine Spectator, proceeds from this event have raised millions of dollars to date and have supported more nonprofits than any other fundraising event in Sonoma County.

During the events, Sonoma County opens the doors to America’s leading wine and food destination, providing guests with both an insider experience as well as an opportunity to give back to our local community, with the shared goal of raising funds to support local Sonoma County charitable organizations.

Gathering to Give Back

The annual Sonoma County Wine Celebration Live Auction, raises critical funds for our Sonoma County Vintners Foundation to support local nonprofit organizations and help those in our community who are most in need. Since its inception, the Sonoma County Wine Celebration has distributed more than $43 million as grants for education & literacy, health & human services, the environment, arts & culture, as well as our emergency relief fund.

Our Fund-A-Need is the power of collective giving, which has been proven to create positive change in communities. The proceeds from this year’s Sonoma County Wine Celebration Fund-A-Need Paddle Raise will continue to provide impactful assistance for children’s education and literacy while also addressing new challenges our county faces.  

Together we have the power to make a difference!
