Local Event
Guests will enjoy an immersive stroll with local wine tastings, seasonal bites and dips by Preservatory, paired with fresh produce from local farmers. The event will preview the vision for Graton Town Square, including design and build plans, future gathering spaces, gardens, festivals, community programs, and the path ahead.
There will also be a mini farmers market featuring local produce and plant starts available for purchase.
Our hope is that guests leave feeling more connected to local community, inspired by the meaningful work taking shape in Graton, and energized to participate in building Graton Town Square with us - whether through a direct donation, volunteering time or expertise, becoming a founding supporter, or simply helping spread the word.
Event HighlightsThis is more than a fundraiser. It's a chance to help shape and support a joyful, intergenerational commons for Graton and West County.
Advance tickets encouraged, as tasting capacity is limited and this event is expected to sell out.

Note: We’ve hit pause on the Green Valley Food & Wine Festival this year so we can pour our energy and donations into building and programming Graton Town Square, with hopes of bringing the festival back next year better than ever. May 30 Sip & Stroll is your chance to support future programming, such as the Food & Wine Fest, if you want to see it come back next year!
