Founders Wine Auction 2020
Join Us for Our Founders Wine Auction November 11 through November 15!
We are excited to announce our first-ever Sonoma Academy Founders Auction, a way to pay tribute to our founders and celebrate the region that we live in.
You may be familiar with the Wine Auction we always hold as a component of Big Night Out, but this year, in a desire to spread out the fun of that event and in hopes of loading our holiday tables with amazing wines, we will hold this auction in the Fall each year. You will see wines from all over our region and the world featured in this auction, as well as wines from many of our Sonoma Academy families' wineries.
Our wine families have an opportunity to share their wines with you, and you have an opportunity to try new wines, all for a good cause! All proceeds from this event will go to support our school community: programs, people, and our commitment to excellence. Please get ready for some fun online bidding!
This event will be purely virtual and bidding will start Wednesday, November 11 at 5 pm and continue through Sunday, November 15. There will be something for everyone and you are welcome (and encouraged!) to share the event with your friends and family all over the country.
