Many of the grapes on the valley floor are off the vines and we’re currently enjoying the amazing smell of fermenting fruit each time we open a window or walk outside. Yep, the calendar might not quite agree, but for us, this is confirmation that fall is upon us.
Here are a couple events that are worth checking out if you’ll be in/around the Napa Valley this weekend.
Saturday, September 20th
- Trefethen Family Vineyards & Fran Drescher will host the “Eat, Drink and Be Merry” event, which is a fundraiser to benefit Cancer Schmancer, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring all women’s cancers are diagnosed in Stage 1, when it is most curable. You’ll be able to rub-elbows with well-known Chefs, vintners and comedians – including Fran Drescher, Peggy Fleming-Jenkins, Donna Scala and K.R. Rombauer - during an afternoon of food, wine and fundraising.
