St. Francis Winery & Vineyards 20th annual Blessing of the Animals

Sun, October 2, 2022, 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

StFrancis Winery & Vineyards is holding its 20th annual Blessing of the Animals fundraising event on Sunday, October 2 from 2 pm – 5 pm. It’s a beloved community tradition that brings people (and their furry friends) together to enjoy award-winning wines, and breathtaking views, all for a good cause.

StFrancis of Assisi is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment, so it is fitting that the annual event will help generate funds to support the Humane Society of Sonoma County – honoring the mission of the winery’s namesake. The Humane Society of Sonoma County is a no-kill shelter and provides unwavering efforts in uniting deserving animals with a forever home. At the event, StFrancis Winery will serve its award-winning wines and donate proceeds from by-the-glass sales.

Participants at the Blessing of the Animals are encouraged to bring their furry friends, scaley sidekicks, and even aquatic acquaintances as all are welcome to attend this unforgettable afternoon and partake in the winery’s homage to this centuries-old tradition. Festivities include the ever-popular “Winery Dog of the Year” contest, raffle prizes, local food vendors, animal specialists, pet boutiques, and a blessing for every animal in attendance.
