Past Events

May 14 (noon-2 pm): Wine and food tasting event at Mangels Vineyards in Suisun Valley
- Winemakers from Tolenas Winery, Mangels Vineyards and Suisun Creek Winery will each pour one of their varietals and give some background on its creation. Each wine will be paired with a small food tasting featuring local, seasonal produce from Suisun Valley farms, along with recipes and brief cooking demos by Sustainable Solano staff. Following the food tasting, guests will have the opportunity to taste additional wines, chat further with the winemakers and sign up for wine club memberships if desired.
May 22: (1-3 pm) Beer and food tasting and tour at Ruhstaller Farm in Dixon
- Take a tour through the fields, the cellar and the brewery while learning how Ruhstaller Farm transforms their own organic hops into unique, delicious craft beers. Small food tastings featuring produce from neighboring family farms will be paired with the beers along the way, with recipes and quick cooking demos by Sustainable Solano staff. Guests will have plenty of Q & A time with the brewmasters and also learn about Ruhstaller’s regenerative farming practices that bring the hops from the dirt to the deck and strive to leave the land better than they found it.

This year’s Bounty of the County was developed in collaboration with the Solano County Fair Association.
