The weekend of activities kicks-off on Thursday, September 16 and culminates with the live auction on Saturday,
September 18. Named one of the nation’s top charitable wine auctions, proceeds from this annual event support
more Sonoma County non-profit organizations than any other local fundraiser. Over $37 million has been raised
since the auction’s inception, making a substantial direct local impact on literacy, education, health and human
services, the environment, and arts and culture.

The live auction lot collection features unique experiences in travel, culinary, wine and sports and can be explored
in advance at SonomaCountyWineAuction.com. A critical fundraising lot is the 2021 Fund-A-Need Paddle Raise.
Each year, this powerful collective giving opportunity raises funds for children’s education and literacy while also
addressing new educational challenges the county faces.

culinary experiences include:
