Taste an array of fine wines with gourmet cuisine; meander through fine art exhibits; enjoy open air performances ~ theater, dance, classical, and jazz concerts; meet local authors who have gathered beneath the trees to sign books. A showcase of the culinary, winemaking, visual, performing, and literary arts...
A Friendly Place which Specializes in Quality
You’ll help raise funding for some twenty non-profit organizations and get acquainted with Sonoma ~ a friendly place that specializes in quality. Plan to take home a taste of Sonoma! Art is highlighted throughout the weekend of Salute to the Arts events, and is supported throughout the year through net proceeds. It is the festival's purpose to promote the professional original art available in the community, encouraging art as a viable business and profession; and to assist non-profit arts organizations with promotion and fundraising. Through Sonoma's annual Salute to the Arts, the Sonoma Valley Arts Alliance funds scholarships for high school seniors interesting in pursuing careers in the arts. Stop by the Sonoma Valley Arts Alliance booth to add your own brush strokes to the art-for-all-ages mural created annually during the event. Taste Regional Cuisine, Premium Wines and Craft Brews
