Join us to taste the Petaluma Gap's finest Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah at the 2016 Petaluma Gap WIND to WINE Festival at the Sheraton Petaluma on November 6th.

This is your opportunity to experience what makes our region special! More than 100 Petaluma Gap wines will be available in one place for tasting!

We’ve implemented some changes this year to make your experience even more enjoyable. There are two different VIP Seminars to choose from: Cool Climate Syrah and Food Friendly Wines. The Grand Tasting event will take place in the Sheraton’s Grand Ballroom, with more food stations, more space to mingle, and even more wines to sample!

This year will be bigger and better! Not only have we moved to the event to the main Ballroom at the Sheraton to make room for more guests and more wineries but we are excited to be hosting two different VIP Seminars for you to choose from!
