Wine Country Festivals: Our Focus:
As 2 artists, well versed in the challenges of festival life, the idea arose to create an event focusing on quality art and fine craft, fresh seafood, the abundance of fine wines and beers this area has to offer, and fantastic entertainment as well. Being lovers of nature we also wanted our festival to be in a beautiful spot. We feel strongly that substantial marketing, well-chosen artists, foods, entertainment and an impressive tasting brings in the best possible demographic.
This festival is a benefit for Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods, the non-profit working in conjunction with California State Parks in this region, and the Bodega Volunteer Fire Department, so your participation helps these wonderful non-profits succeed and grow.
But besides creating an environment for sales, we want to create one for enjoyment. We hope you come away from this festival feeling appreciated, joyful, and looking forward to returning!
