Eighth Street Wineries-Sonoma invites wine lovers to their 2019 annual open house on Saturday, Feb. 23.

Off the beaten path, yet just five minutes from Sonoma Plaza, eight wineries open their cellar doors for an afternoon of tastings and pairings. The annual event allows the wineries to showcase their wines and offers a chance to support local artisan brands.

Glass in hand, guests can stroll from winery to winery and savor various pairings by local chefs. The winemakers themselves will be on hand at the event, providing a unique opportunity, as many of the wineries are typically closed to the public. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the production facilities while enjoying the small-batch wines produced on site.

The eight participating wineries are Ty Caton, Talisman Wine, Stone Edge Farm, Tin Barn Vineyards, Enkidu Wine, William Knuttel Winery, MacLaren and Obsidian Wine Co.

The event is from noon to 4 p.m., with the doors open until 4:30 p.m. for wine pick up and purchasing.

The cost is $45 per person in advance/$50 at the door, which includes a souvenir wine glass and access to all participating wineries. Designated driver tickets are $10.

In an effort to support local nonprofits, the wineries will be holding a raffle at each participating spot with eight possible prizes. Raffle tickets are $10 with a chance to win a prize at each winery with each ticket purchased. 100 percent of funds collected with be donated to La Luz Center in Sonoma.

The Eighth Street Wineries-Sonoma event is for adults only; no one under the age of 21 is allowed to attend, stress event organizers.
