Welcome to the Sonoma County Harvest Fair
Thank you to everyone who celebrated our 50th Golden Anniversary at this year’s Awards Night Gala! Mark you calendars for October 10, 2026!

For 50 years, the Sonoma County Harvest Fair has highlighted Sonoma County’s incredible agriculture, wineries, artisan makers and culinary stars. Since the Fair’s inception in 1975, it has gained a reputation as one of the premiere regional wine judgings in the country. It draws a considerable amount of attention and interest on both a statewide and national level.

The Harvest Fair recruits 18 judges representing trade, education, writers, retailers and others in the wine and hospitality industry to judge the professional wine competition. Over two days, these professionals judge over 900 wines, all made from grapes grown in our premiere Sonoma County growing region. Top Harvest Fair awards garner local and national recognition of Sonoma County’s premium wines. The Harvest Fair also highlights Sonoma County’s innovative cuisine through its professional food competitions.

The Harvest Fair, though very much in the national spotlight, is still able to retain its exclusively local flavor. In addition to our wine and food judgings it holds a Grand Tasting where over 1,000 people can sip and taste all the Golds and Best of Class wines.

The Harvest Fair is a major tourist event, yet continues to focus its emphasis on the community.
