Sonoma Community Center

How do coastal weather patterns and marine air gaps shape the quality of wine grapes? Join Sonoma Home Winemakers for an engaging presentation by Ronald Fenolio, co-founder of Napa’s historic Veedercrest Vineyards and Chair Emeritus of Family Winemakers of California. Titled "Mind the Gap," the talk will uncover how coastal fog and cool marine breezes—channeled through gateways like our own Petaluma Gap—act as nature's air conditioner to shape world-class vineyard climates up and down the Pacific coast. Whether you are sourcing grapes, deciding what to plant, or picking a bottle off the shelf, come discover how ocean breezes define grape character and flavor.
This event is free to the public. Attendees must be 21 or older with valid I.D. to participate in wine tasting. Please bring your own wine glass; winemakers are encouraged to bring a bottle of their wine for shared tasting.

2nd Annual Wine &amp; Shine Lowrider &amp; Classic Car Show
Sunday, October 18, 2026 | 11 AM – 4 PM 
Bacchus Landing | Healdsburg, California
Join us at Bacchus Landing for the 2nd Annual Wine &amp; Shine Lowrider &amp; Classic Car Show, a celebration of incredible cars, wine, music, food, and community in the heart of Sonoma County wine country.
Spend the afternoon checking out an impressive lineup of lowriders, classic cars, custom builds, and beautifully restored rides, then step into the courtyard where seven independent wineries share one address.
Aldina Vineyards, Comstock Wines, Convene by Dan Kosta, Dot Wine, Montse Reece Wines, Smith Story Wine Cellars, and Solo Nostro will all have their tasting rooms open — wine by the glass, by the bottle, or a full tasting. Come for one. Stay for all seven.
Come hungry! Camacho's BBQ is our confirmed food vendor and will be serving up their delicious BBQ throughout the afternoon. Guests can grab a bite, listen to our DJ spinning all afternoon, and meet the owners and builders behind the cars.
Whether you're a lifelong car enthusiast or just looking for a fun Sunday in wine country, Wine &amp; Shine brings together car culture and wine country for an afternoon the whole family can enjoy.
Come for the cars. Stay for the wine. Enjoy the shine.
