The first Dinner and Auction was held in 2000 and each year Vines & Wines has grown to become the premier Benefit Weekend in Sonoma County. The committee members chose the name from influences on our community: "Vines" is a metaphor for the strong roots in our lives such as family, health, etc.; "Wines" being a metaphor for the amazing end results when those vines are cultivated with great care.
