(ST. HELENA, CA, October 16, 2024) – HALL Napa Valley, a family-owned winery known for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, has announced its seventh annual partnership with Napa Humane, a non-profit organization committed to promoting the welfare of companion animals through protection, advocacy, and education. The Harvest Hounds collaboration will take place on Sunday, November 10 at HALL St. Helena from 11:00a.m. to 1:00pm., and includes numerous activities and educational opportunities for pets and pet owners to benefit from.
“We’re excited to once again partner with Napa Humane for another Harvest Hounds event,” says Vintner Kathryn Hall. “Napa Valley truly embraces its dog-friendly spirit. From our local dog parks and pet-friendly hotels to the scenic hiking trails, it’s inspiring to see how our community comes together to support and celebrate our four-legged companions. It’s just one of the many things that make our Valley so unique.”
Guests attending Harvest Hounds will have the opportunity to explore a variety of pet-focused vendors offering valuable information on enhancing life with pets. Confirmed vendors include Drool Cookies and Suzanne Hawken, photographer/author of Rescue Dogs of Napa Valley book. Napa Humane will be on site offering complimentary microchip checks, information about their programs and services—including their behavioral dog training program—and providing pet identification tags.
Additionally, Napa County Animal Shelter, Ripple Effect Animal Project, and Wine Country Animal Lovers will also be on-site hosting pet adoptions, featuring a range of dogs and cats looking for their forever homes.
“We are so thankful to HALL,” says Wendi Piscia, Executive Director of Napa Humane. “Through their generous contributions, Napa Humane is able to continue our spay/neuter, vaccine and dog training programs that help save the lives of companion animals throughout the Valley and provide support for the people who care for them.”
Guests are invited to bring their furry friends to Harvest Hounds to enjoy the lush grounds of the HALL St. Helena winery and enjoy the dog-related offerings on the Great Lawn, adjacent to the historic Bergfeld Winery building.
