Harvest season is one of the most special times of the year to experience Sonoma County. As vineyards buzz with activity and warm summer days begin to give way to crisp fall evenings, local wineries, farms, and restaurants come together to celebrate the season with harvest dinners. These gatherings showcase what Wine Country does best: locally grown ingredients, Sonoma County wines, beautiful outdoor settings, and a shared appreciation for the people behind each bottle and dish.
Whether you're planning a fall getaway around harvest season or simply looking for a memorable evening during your stay, a harvest dinner offers a delicious way to experience Sonoma County at its peak.
