Do you know a family — or are you part of one — that has been farming in Sonoma County for 100 years or more and is still growing winegrapes today? If so, we want to hear from you!
The Sonoma County Winegrowers Century Club celebrates these heritage farming families, honoring their enduring contributions to our region’s rich agricultural history and ongoing commitment to cultivating exceptional winegrapes.

Each family honored in the Sonoma County Winegrowers Century Club receives a commemorative pin, a special vineyard sign to display on their historic property, and a congressional resolution from Representative Mike Thompson’s office. Each December, members are celebrated at a luncheon, joined by fellow honorees, press, and Sonoma County Winegrowers board members.
