Last year’s inaugural event was a smash hit! Master of ceremonies, the Warriors’ Franco Finn will kick off the evening of tasting in Thomas George Estates’ 1200 square feet of caves.

Hosted by millennial vintners and growers, these lots are designed for 6 to 10 people to join together and share cost on future adventures in the Russian River Valley.
This year one lot will be co-hosted by Thomas George Estates and Healdsburg Active 20/30 club. Proceeds will go to fund the Coddingtown Mall Gift Cards allowing children from homeless shelters, Boys & Girls Clubs and other children’s groups to shop for school clothes. Teaser videos of the auction lots are posted on facebook.com/NextGenerationWine. Fans can also follow on twitter.com/NextGenWine.
