Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance, a nonprofit supporting winemakers and grape growers in Sonoma Valley, will host its first-annual Sonoma Valley Western Reserve at the exclusive Wing & Barrel Ranch on Saturday, May 16 for an unforgettable evening celebrating the intersection of world-class Sonoma Valley wine and authentic Western spirit. Sip rare reserve labels poured by the vintners themselves, paired with premium wines and signature cocktails, live music, and a hearty ranch-style BBQ dinner. All proceeds benefit the Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Foundation. Individual tickets are $225, VIP Frontier tickets, which include a VIP Wine reception and more, are $297, and VIP Frontier tables for eight are $2,500. 

For those looking to embrace the spirit of the West, they can enjoy an all afternoon experience participating in premier sporting activities such as clay shooting, fishing, casting, and archery ahead of the main evening wine reception and Western dinner and dancing. The event, at the typically members-only setting of Wing & Barrel Ranch, offers a rare opportunity to bid on elite wine packages in both silent and live auctions, customize your own Western hat, and acquire bottles not available to the general public.
