Golden Autumn Wine Festival

Golden Autumn Wine Festival:
Celebrating Northern Sierra Foothills Wineries

On November 1st, the inaugural “Golden Autumn Wine Festival” will take place at Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland. Twenty top wineries from the northern half of the Sierra Foothills AVA – including Nevada, Butte, Placer and Yuba Counties -- will present their wines.

This is an opportunity for wine lovers throughout the North State to interact directly with the vintners themselves while sampling a wide range of varietals and wine-making styles from the foothill territory of Northern California.

The event will take place in a beautiful hand-hewn, timber-frame barn, and will be accompanied by tasty hors d’oeuvres, a sampling of other locally-grown products and the option of Bishop’s famous barbeque lunch.

For the first time ever, Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm will extend its season -- Halloween has always been its last day—to accommodate this special occasion…and to allow adults as well as children to enjoy its corn maze, special baked goods, shops, miniature train, petting zoo and other down-home attractions.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Yuba-Sutter United Way to benefit grants for non-profit organizations providing services for “Healthier Children.”

Tickets are $25 -- all tastings and hors d’oeuvres included -- and can be purchased by clicking the following link:  www.bishopspumpkinfarm.com. or at the event. Parking is $5.00. For more information about Bishop's Pumpkin Farm and for directions, please visit: http://www.bishopspumpkinfarm.com
