Taste the Best of Sonoma County

In 2015, with over 26,000 votes, the Harvest Fair was voted the Best Annual Festival of Sonoma County bestowed by The Press Democrat readers. Each October, thirsty travelers from across the entire US, are beckoned to Santa Rosa to participate in a complete farm to table experience, inspired by the county's hard working farmers, ranchers, vintners and producers.

Join us for an intimate evening hosted by the Trione family! We will begin in the tasting room with a white wine reception and then head to the communal dinning table where you will be treated like a king or queen and pampered with incredible food and wine. Indulge in a delicious, market inspired, garden fresh, dinner prepared by Peloton Culinary. Sip on Scot’s award winning wines; sample some new favorites and enjoy some library wines that were cellared and held back just for these dinners! This is an upscale farm-to-table dinner with a platted first course, family-style main courses, and a platted dessert – all paired with Trione wines made from our estate vineyards. After the dinner, we will end in the tasting room with a special wine to finish the evening off right. Come join us and celebrate the end of harvest with us in style!

Set for its 10th annual running on the last weekend of October, the Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon & Hallowine 10K offers runners a chance to run through the beautifully picturesque fields, hills and valleys of the Northern California wine growing region at what is expected to be a perfect time of year, weather-wise.
One of a series of races staged throughout the year by running event organizer Destination Races in the California wine country, the race is limited to 2,500 entrants.

While in past years the race began at Francis Ford Coppola’s Rosso & Bianco Winery, the course was redesigned in 2013 to create a point-to-point run that starts in nearby Geyserville and finishes in Healdsburg, near the Coppola Winery.

From the starting line on the small town’s main street of Geyserville Avenue, the course heads first north and then west, turning onto Canyon Road and taking runners into the Dry Creek Valley.

Members of the Wine Road would like to welcome you to our wineries and lodgings for an exciting weekend of wine tasting. This is your chance to sample wines from the barrel, talk to winemakers and explore the beautiful Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys.

Barrel Tasting is not a food pairing or themed event. It’s all about the WINE…many wineries offer “futures” on their barrel samples. This is a chance to purchase wine now, often at a discount, then come back to the winery when the wine is bottled, typically 12-18 months from now. Many wines are so limited, buying futures is your only chance to purchase them.

The ticket price includes the opportunity to sample wine from the barrel and in most cases also trying a limited number of current release wines. This is not a food pairing event so not all wineries provide food during the event.

All Wine Road events are for adults only. No One under the age of 21 is allowed to attend Barrel Tasting – including no babies or children of any age.
