Blessing of the Animals 2025

Mark your calendars for Sunday, Oct. 5! Sonoma County’s furriest and friendliest event is back with the 23rd annual Blessing of the Animals at St. Francis Winery & Vineyards.

Bring your furry friends, scaly sidekicks, aquatic companions, and beloved pets of all kinds for an afternoon filled with community spirit, wagging tails, and heartwarming fun. Guests will enjoy raffle prizes, local bites, St. Francis wines, and the always-popular Winery Dog of the Year contest. Plus, every animal will receive a special blessing.

This cherished family- and pet-friendly tradition partners with the Humane Society of Sonoma County and local animal rescue organizations, showcasing St. Francis Winery’s commitment to giving back. 

Don’t miss this “pawsitively” adorable celebration of the bond we share with our animals while supporting an important cause!
