We are excited to now be accepting nominations for trade and media from Canada to be invited to the 2025 International Sonoma Summit. SCV is looking for trade who are actively seeking to expand and diversify the selection of Sonoma County wines on their wine lists, retail offerings and import lists. These are qualified buyers who already have experience with Sonoma County wines, and an immersive trip would truly expand their knowledge and excitement for Sonoma County wines. We also ask that your nominating representative has the ability to bid on behalf of their company at the Sonoma County Barrel Auction. If you would like to nominate someone to attend the 2025 International Sonoma Summit, please complete our nomination form by November 15, 2024.

We aim to inspire our community’s students of greatest need, and they in turn truly inspire us all. We’re grateful to have the partnership of Sonoma County Vintners Foundation in ensuring a brighter tomorrow for our young people.” Ashleigh Worley, Director of Education & Community Engagement Luther Burbank Center for the Arts Memorial Foundation Thank you to everyone who gathered to give back at this year’s Sonoma County Wine Celebration!

It's #FoundationFriday and we're sharing messages of hope and thanks today! "With the support of the Sonoma County Vintners Foundation, @californiapoetsintheschools inspires youth in Sonoma County to pay attention, to articulate their lived realities and to claim their stories as a pathway to true agency and change. In these poetry programs, participants learn how to use poetry creation and performance as a tool for transformation and self-empowerment, while at the same time building critical literacy skills that help advance academic engagement and achievement. This grant supports our trauma-informed poetry creation programs in K-12 schools, the Youth Poet Laureate program of Sonoma County, and the Poetry Out Loud initiative in up to a dozen local high schools. As a result of this important funding partnership, California Poets in the Schools offers continuous opportunities for local youth to engage in a top-notch literary arts curriculum throughout the grade levels." Meg Hamill, Executive Director, California Poets in the Schools Thank you to everyone who gathered to give back at this year's Sonoma County Wine Celebration! Because of your support, we raised funds to continue our SCVF community grant program.
