Sonoma County Vintners

We are proud to be long-time supporter of Sonoma County’s non-profit organizations who tirelessly work to address issues that impact the most vulnerable in our community. The unprecedented events of 2020 have created abrupt resource and service challenges, and help is needed now more than ever. On December 1, we will participate in #GivingTuesday, a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to donate, collaborate and celebrate generosity. Through a robust marketing plan, we will raise awareness for the Sonoma County Vintners Foundation, highlight the generosity of our vintners, promote the extraordinary work of our Sonoma County beneficiary partners, and raise funds to continue to meet the critical needs.
