Taste of the Valley

On June 7 and 8, more than 25 wineries throughout Alexander Valley will welcome you for the 11th annual TASTE OF THE VALLEY. This special annual event will feature demonstrations, exclusive wine offers and gracious hospitality as wine lovers experience world class wines, tantalizing food and great music all weekend long. A weekend pass provides you with the rare opportunity to taste intriguing wines from small producers, and celebrated wines from well known Alexander Valley vintners as well.

Back by popular demand - the Winemaker Kick-Off Dinner returns Friday, June 6. Join us for an exclusive opportunity to dine in the vineyards with our growers and vintners who will showcase their wines throughout the evening. Enjoy the sounds of our own Alexander Valley Open Hearts Band. A wine country feast provided by one of Sonoma County’s favorites, Park Avenue Catering Chef Bruce Riezenman. This is a rare opportunity to visit the Hoot Owl Creek Vineyards Picnic Grounds not generally open to the public. Don’t miss this fantastic kick-off to Alexander Valley’s premier event weekend!
