Annual Pink Sonoma Rosé festival returns in support of LGBTQ+ youth

Out in the Vineyard’s annual Pink Sonoma Rosé Wine Fest in support of local LGBTQ+ youth returns May 5 at Viansa Sonoma Winery.

The popular event celebrating rosé season and all things pink is a benefit for Positive Images in support of Sonoma County LGBTQ+ youth.

Guests can taste this season’s rosés from more than 20 wineries, dance to live music, and dress in vibrant outfits.

Along with a portion of ticket sales, a silent auction will raise funds for the local nonprofit that provides support, advocacy and education to LGBTQ+ youth in the community.

Festival goers can interact with local vintners, enjoy bites by Chef Chad of Classic Culinaire Caters paired with new wine releases for the spring and summer, and wear their most fabulous -- and pink -- ensembles.

As with any Out in the Vineyard event, the organization promises surprises for all who atten, to help create a magical experience in the valley.
