“Veni, vidi, vino. . .” --Julius Caesar, upon receiving his invitation to the 17th Annual Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction.
Friends, Sonomans, Countrymen – lend me your ears! Sonoma’s yearly Bacchanal is upon us – the 17th Annual Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction presented by Trilogy Glass & Packaging! Tie up your togas and slip on your sandals for an orgy of wine, food, fun and frivolity so extravagant even Bacchus will blush.
All roads lead to Sonoma’s Cline Cellars Sunday, September 6, where the festivities kick off at 11 a.m. Report to the census (Check In) first thing to enjoy a leisurely preview of the 35 Live Lots and Silent Auction Lots, and to recline luxuriously in the Toga Lounge before the Live Auction is unleashed at 1 p.m.
Your ticket this year not only gets you into the gods’ good graces, but also offers you exclusive audience with Sonoma’s Senators of the Sip – our acclaimed Winemakers and Growers. Each table is hosted by a Winemaker or Grower who promises to shower you with blessings and wine from their own vineyards or winery, praise Zeus. Culinary Director, Chef Carlo Cavallo, will lead a team of Sonoma County’s most renowned chefs in preparing a multi-course ambrosial feast of Sonoma’s freshest bounty fit for the finest patrician.

The gods' benevolence extends further still. This year, all citizens will receive full access to the indulgences formerly reserved for those fortunate enough to have VIP passes. The gods have decreed that Caesar’s pre- and post-parties are meant for all! Now that’s democracy.
Step into the Cigar Aficionado Cigar Lounge after the auction to celebrate, Caesar-style. And at the Toga Lounge, the Empire’s best apothecaries will be on hand to mix tonics of every flavor and color. Enjoy the fruits of their labor while indulging in the intimacy provided by our sumptuous sitting areas, designed for delicious decadence.
Overseeing the events from on high is the venerable Sangiacomo Family. The first grower family to be selected as the event’s honorary chairs, the Sangiacomos have ruled their own vinous empire for the last 80 years and three generations. By bestowing their godly grapes on over 50 wineries, the Sangiacomo family has earned a fixed place in Sonoma’s shining constellation of wine stars.
Et tu, Partay? The 17th Annual Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction presented by Trilogy Glass & Packaging promises a Partius Maximus not to be missed. Party with us, and you’ll want to come Bacchus! Get your tickets today.
