Sonoma County Wine Celebration

Sonoma County Vintners Foundation (SCVF) is delighted to announce that the charitable Sonoma County Wine Auction has been renamed as the Sonoma County Wine Celebration (SCWC) and will be held at the historic Chateau St. Jean Winery on Saturday, September 21. New SCWC pre-auction events are also planned at venues around the county for Thursday, September 19 and Friday, September 20.

The experiences planned for the days leading up to the live auction have been reimagined into an exciting new format, that also includes a new and inclusive pricing structure, and optional add-on and à la carte experiences including Dine-Around Showdown Dinners, Insider Wine Tours and more, that will be hosted at venues around Sonoma County during SCWC. The SCWC’s three-day live events package includes a welcome reception on Thursday, September 19, an evening celebration called Wine Country Nights: Boots, Bottles and Bites on Friday, September 20, and the live auction on Saturday, September 21.

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 SCVF 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 SCWC have raised millions of dollars to date and have supported more nonprofits than any other fundraising event in Sonoma County.

During the three days of celebration 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.
