A first-of-its-kind series of immersive, farmer-hosted experiences in Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley
September 16, 2025 (Alexander Valley, CA) – For the first time ever, the families, growers, and winemakers of Alexander Valley are opening their doors for Access Alexander Valley Wine Week, a one-week celebration running September 22–28, 2025. Guests are invited to step into the vineyards, cellars, and properties of Sonoma County’s premier winegrowing region for exclusive excursions and intimate wine activations — many of which are only available during Wine Week.
“This is a return to our roots,” said Jessie Vallery, Marketing & Operations Director for Alexander Valley Winegrowers. “We are farmers, and for one week, we’re inviting you to experience the land we love in a way that’s never been offered before. At a time when selling wine is more challenging and visitation is down, it’s inspiring to see our community come together — restaurants, hotels, and wineries — to create truly unique experiences for our guests. We are grateful for these partnerships and look forward to building on this momentum for years to come. This is the kind of event consumers want today: they want to connect with the stories, the people, the places, and the brands. It’s not about a hard sell — it’s about the lifestyle, and the wine naturally follows.”
“I am so thrilled to be a board member of the AVWG association,” said Brigid Harris of Bedarra Vineyards. “I am beyond proud of what we have achieved this year, the support we have seen, and the response from our consumers. This event is so exciting and a breath of fresh air!”
