Innovation, exploration and artisanal are words to describe these up-and-coming winemakers. While the entrants in this category may be considered amateur, they are all making their mark on the Sonoma County wine industry. Keep an eye on these winemakers – they’re definitely the industry’s future! Awards will be advertised through the website and media releases.
The Sonoma County Harvest Fair Board has created Digital Medals that you can download and use to promote your award winners on your website and social media!
