Join winemakers, grape growers, restaurateurs, hoteliers and neighbors at the 17th Annual Grape to Glass Pre-Harvest Party on Saturday, August 18 in the heart of Sonoma County’s wine country – the Russian River Valley.

The Russian River Valley Winegrowers invite you to join us as we celebrate the fruits of our labor …drinking great wine, feasting off the land and dancing the night away at this unique Pre-Harvest Party.

The party kicks off with a tasting reception at 4 pm showcasing more than 50 wineries and growers of the Russian River Valley Winegrowers. Joining the party will be local restaurants, caterers and food purveyors sharing family heirloom recipes. While you wine and dine, take a stroll through the park-like setting at Richard’s Grove & Saralee’s Vineyard viewing the work of local artists; and bidding on the silent auction of oversized and special bottlings, restaurant dinners and gift baskets.

Following the reception will be a feast like no other … a savory barbecue dinner with all of the fixins. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Grape to Glass without fresh homemade Gravenstein apple pie for dessert, warmed in the wood brick oven and topped with vanilla ice cream.

If you love our little piece of heaven, then you won’t want to miss the spectacular live auction filled with Russian River Valley excursions and overnight stays.

We’ll wrap up the evening under the Russian River Valley stars with great local entertainment featuring Urban Oasis.
