September 19-21, 2024
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.
“My family is honored to host the Sonoma County Wine Celebration and auction day at historic Chateau St. Jean,” said Courtney Foley, Second Generation Vintner of Foley Family Wines & Spirits (FFWS). “Proceeds raised by this important event are fed directly into our community through strategic partnerships with nonprofit organizations that are deeply devoted to supporting the various needs of people who make Sonoma County the special and dynamic place it is.”
Come be a part of Sonoma County’s largest fundraising event where we will be GATHERING TO GIVE BACK – it has already supported more than 430 nonprofits in our community.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2024
Sonoma County Wine Auction
The annual Sonoma County Wine Auction, held on the Saturday during the three-day Sonoma County Wine Celebration, will continue to raise critical funds for our Sonoma County Vintners Foundation (SCVF) to support local nonprofit organizations and help those in our community who are most in need. Since its inception, the Sonoma County Wine Auction has distributed more than $42 million as grants for education & literacy, health & human services, the environment, arts & culture, as well as our emergency relief fund. Our latest distribution funded 35 grants for education & literacy, health & human services, the environment, and arts & culture.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SONOMA COUNTY
GATHERING TO GIVE BACK
The proceeds from the Sonoma County Wine Celebration will continue to support Sonoma County nonprofits focused on the areas of education & literacy, health & human services, the environment and arts & culture. In addition, Sonoma County Vintners Foundation is excited to announce that a key focus for this year’s Fund-A-Need paddle raise will benefit the critically impactful K-3 Proficiency Project, which has seen tremendous results in increasing literacy in Sonoma County school children.
MORE FUN FOR EVERYONE
NEW SCWC EXPERIENCES
“We can’t wait to share the amazing wines, experiences and auction lots we’ve planned as we unveil the new Sonoma County Wine Celebration and share our beautiful region with the rest of the world. We know that our loyal supporters who travel to Sonoma County for our auction every year are going to be thrilled with this spectacular format, as will our dedicated vintners and partners who allow us to raise money each year for those most in need in our community.”
Michael Haney, Executive Director
Sonoma County Vintners Foundation
