Celebrate 10 years of film, food and wine! The 10th Annual Sonoma Valley Film Festival (April 11 - 15, 2007) welcomes you to an intimate and luxurious extended weekend in the heart of Sonoma wine country, featuring over 75 new films from around the world. Food & wine tastings before every film screening, lively receptions, hot parties, exclusive winery excursions, and casual mingling with emerging filmmakers, film stars, star winemakers and celebrity chefs.

Come taste the wine and “Take a Sip for Scholarship!”

From a small gathering of wine makers and wine lovers in Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada's warehouse the event has grown in 32 years to become one of the largest single day tastings in the country. Last year, the event included 7,000 guests, 117 suppliers and over 700 wines from 390 wineries and was held in a hotel/casino convention center. This year, we expect at least that many participants to return to UNLVino’s 32nd annual tasting and there will be some surprises. A major source of funds for the college and a very entertaining part of the festivities is the lively wine themed auction of paintings, trips, collectibles, and rare vintages. Artists, winemakers, and suppliers have donated these fine items in support of education.

The 2006 Blue Ridge Wine Festival, was a grand success! Be sure to make reservations for the 2007 Wine Festival well in advance! Check for updates on the 2007 event and more!
