Lot #36 – The Siren Song of Winesong
Mendocino, California

Winesong is a premier charity auction and wine tasting weekend benefiting the Mendocino Coast District Hospital. The event takes place along the beautiful Mendocino Coast in Anderson Valley. Nestled in the western edge of the county, the area is “green, serene, un-snobby territory,” adjacent to redwood forests and the Pacific Ocean. Now in its 30th year, Winesong features Anderson Valley’s top wineries and is the perfect venue to get to know this hidden jewel and its bounty.

This year, Winesong is offering a VIP package for two, which will include lodging for two nights on the stunning Mendocino Coast. The opening act of the weekend is the Pinot Noir Celebration on Friday, which features more than 20 wineries from Anderson Valley. On Friday evening, you are invited to the exclusive, invitation-only VIP reception known as the Auction Preview Party. This is a private, catered event and welcome reception.

Saturday afternoon highlights the main experience of the Winesong Weekend, a two-in-one event that showcases wines from Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino Counties, along with other high-end wine regions nationally and globally. The first part of the afternoon commences in the breathtaking Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens with 100 premier wineries and 50 culinary artisans sharing samples of their creations, orchestrating a delightful pairing of food and wine in a stunning setting. Next is the Live Auction, the centerpiece of Winesong, where you will have preferred, reserved seating; a catered, gourmet lunch; and the opportunity to bid on silent and live lots of rare wine, one-of-a-kind artworks and exciting travel experiences.

At the conclusion of Saturday’s daytime activities, you and your companion will continue the celebration into the evening at yet another exclusive VIP event―the Beach Party. Unofficially, this is the farewell for VIPs and, again, by invitation only. The Beach Party is a catered event, complete with bonfires and the sharing of fine wines and delicious food. A whirlwind weekend of wonderful wine for a worthy cause…let’s start the bidding!

Event takes place Friday, September 5th – Saturday, September 6th, 2014.
