EVENT DETAILS:

For the first time in its 33-year history, the Napa Valley Grapegrowers proudly announces the inauguration of their signature fundraising event, the Harvest STOMP. Admirers of Napa Valley wines now have a chance to deepen their understanding of the growers’ role in the creation of these fine wines during an authentic harvest celebration on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008 from 5-9 p.m. at the Round Pond Estate in Rutherford. Guests will enjoy local, exhibition-style cuisine and have the opportunity to meet Napa Valley's most notable grapegrowers, many of whom will be pouring wines made from grapes grown in their vineyards. Dancing to great bands, an instant cellar raffle, and a live auction filled with one of a kind Napa Valley experiences ensure this celebration will be truly exceptional.

Earlier in the day guests can enjoy private and exclusive luncheons hosted by pioneering grapegrowing families at six estate vineyards not typically open to the public. Guests will dine in the midst of the vines, while drinking wines made from those vineyards.

Tickets for the Harvest STOMP evening celebration are $100 per person. The Harvest STOMP Grower Luncheon tickets are $300 per person, which includes entrance to the evening celebration. For ticket information visit www.harveststomp.com or call 707.944.8311 for more information.
