The 114th Annual Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival
September 23-25, 2011.
The Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival is Sonoma Valley’s annual tradition of celebrating the harvest of wine grapes and the yearly crush.
Since 1897 the Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival has been celebrating the Sonoma Valley’s bounty, community, and local culture. California’s oldest festival, this Sonoma tradition takes place the last full weekend of September in downtown Sonoma’s historic Plaza.
The Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival benefits many Sonoma Valley community projects and non-profits. This three day event is organized and presented by a group of local volunteers, including an all volunteer Board of Directors.
This year’s festival Grand Marshalls are the Larson Family of Larson Family Winery. The Larson family growing wine grapes on land that has been in their family since the 1800′s, creating wine under the company motto “We drink what we can, and sell the rest!”
The 2011 Vintage Festival beneficiaries are the Native Sons of the Golden West Sonoma Parlor #111 and the Sonoma Valley Education Fondation Garden Project.
Join in celebrating that special location called the Valley of the Moon, forever memorialized by Jack London as the one place he wanted to call home!
