20th Annual Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction -- Sonoma Shambala
Bollywood spectacle meets Sonoma wine country splendor at our 20th anniversary celebration of wine, cuisine and community.
Immerse yourself in the intrigue of India at our 20th Annual Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction, sponsored by TricorBraun WinePak.
It's a fantastic feast for the senses filled with world-class wines, culinary marvels and showstopping spectacles – a wondrous combination of Wine Country elegance and South Asian decadence that promises to be an unforgettable experience. Upon your arrival at Chateau St. Jean on Sunday, September 2, you'll discover a bustling bazaar bursting with a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors, seductive smells and sensual delights. Here, you'll unearth 35 auction treasures whose winnings will be generously donated to local nonprofits. Be bold in your bids!
Highest bidders will take home the enchanted bounty of Sonoma County along with a selfless serving of good karma for helping out the community. You're also invited to luxuriate in our silk-swathed Spice Lounge before the curtain goes up on the Live Auction, where local winemakers bring their Bollywood-best performances to entertain, delight and dazzle you into raising your paddle for their personalized lots.
Your ticket not only offers you passage into the Wine Spectator Auction Tent, but it also allows you to mingle with Sonoma's own mélange of Maharajas. Each table will be presided over by a renowned Winemaker or Grower who will regale you with epic tales behind their Sonoma wines. Meanwhile, Sonoma's most revered chefs will enrapture you with a repast designed to express the most thrilling flavors found in Sonoma's freshest seasonal offerings.
