5th Annual Auburn Wine Festival - 10/13/2007Placer County's growing wine industry isn't a secret any more. With award-winning wineries and more than a dozen vineyards, the county is regaining its reputation as a producer of top-quality wine in California. To celebrate this renaissance, the Placer County Wine & Grape Association, in cooperation with the Downtown Business Association, is throwing a party and everyone is invited. Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 13, for the fifth annual Auburn Wine Festival. More than 10 wineries will be pouring and several local restaurants and catering firms will be offering their finest dishes in retail establishments across Downtown. Participants will not only get to taste great food and wine, they'll have the opportunity to shop at the same time and get a close-up look at the historic gold rush community of Auburn and all it has to offer. Placer County wineries — Green Family Winery, Ophir Wines, Pescatore Winery, Mt. Vernon Winery, Secret Ravine Winery, Fawnridge Winery, Rancho Roble, Dono Dal Cielo and Viña Castellano will be joined by other foothill wineries — Naggiar Vineyard & Winery, Solune, Lucchessi, Smith, Sierra Knoll, Renaissance and Pilot Peak wineries will be pouring during the Auburn Wine Festival. Several of these wineries are not open to the public so this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to sample these wines. Restaurants serving food include Open Door Café, Salad Shop, Nija Sushi, Monkey Cat and the Clubcar. Tickets are priced at $35 each and may be purchased in advance. Late-comers will still be welcome but the price for tickets purchased after 5 pm October, 13th, will be $40. Of course, all ticket holders must be 21 years of age or older. Pre-event ticket sales:
Tasters will receive a free logo wine glass and a passport to all of the venues.
