Suisun Valley’s annual Harvest Celebration Aug. 25 will offer a full day of free family fun in our beautiful valley, with grape stomps, scavenger hunts, hay rides, baby goats, and more!
Hosted by the Suisun Valley Vintners and Growers Association, the Harvest Celebration from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 25 is a family-friendly event with free admission to all eight participating farms and wineries. Travel the Suisun Valley “loop” and enjoy grape tasting and grape stomping; jam, goat cheese, and olive oil tastings; farm and winery tours; corn hole, ring toss, and other family games; interactive educational experiences with ag professionals; and live music and food trucks. While admission is free, there will be fees for some activities, such as wine tasting and food.
