Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards was the site for Make-A-Wish® Greater Bay Area’s Wishes in Wine Country event, a reimagined version of its Croquet Invitational from years past. A Grand Tasting on the lawns surrounding the Vineyard’s impeccable croquet courts featured over 30 local wineries and restaurants offering small plates and pours, and a three-course Sunset Dinner followed on the winery’s terrace. The event raised over $756,000 in cash and in-kind gifts to help support wish granting in the Bay Area.
