The Fall Wine Cornucopia is the primary event supporting Central California
Winegrowers, the organization that represents, supports, markets, and
works to make sustainable the San Joaquin Valley winegrape and wine
industry.
After
our initial success in bringing different facets of the Valley together
for the first Cornucopia,CCW is happy to report our strategic partnership
with the Guilds of Children’s Hospital Central California. A portion
of ticket revenue will go towards the benefit of Children’s Hospital
Central California, reinforcing CCW’s commitment to the overall
economic, and physical health of the San Joaquin Valley citizenry.
The Fall Wine Cornucopia derives its name, and purpose from the reality
that our San Joaquin Valley produces the greatest array of high quality
agricultural products in the world. Veritably, the CORNUCOPIA of products
grown, produced, and sold from our local vineyards, orchards, dairies,
and fields should be a tremendous source of pride for all of the residents
of the great state of California. But how many people know the people
behind these products? This disconnect is what the Cornucopia hopes
to bridge. This is your opportunity to meet and talk with the very same
people who produce those wonderful delicacies that you may or may yet
be enjoying in the comfort of your home, on the menu of your favorite
restaurant, or in your neighbor’s back yard.
At the Cornucopia, you will have the opportunity to sample these delicious
treats, as well as taste the award winning wines from the San Joaquin
Valley, peruse and purchase local art, and dance and listen to well-regarded
jazz music from San Joaquin Valley musicians. Further, your enjoyment
of some of the finest things our Valley has to offer is set against
the historically beautiful weather of late October. Chukchansi Park
is the perfect venue for this experience because it completely protects
attendees from any chance of inclement weather, yet exposes us to outdoor
vistas, and the striking downtown Fresno skyline set against the majestic
Sierra Nevada Mountains.
You, your friends, and the people you do not know are all invited to
this year’s Fall Wine Cornucopia. Here is our opportunity to delectably
present our San Joaquin Valley for all to enjoy!
