Sabor del Valle

Sabor del Valle raises funds for local nonprofits and changes the lives of the overlooked and underrepresented in the Bay Area by working in collaboration with local vintners and restaurateurs to showcase their delectable creations.​

HISTORY

Sabor del Valle was born in the lush vineyards of Napa Valley back in 2009. There, at an event showcasing Latino vintners and chefs, people from all walks of life gathered in celebration. The gathering was also designed to support local organizations that provided services to youth / youth in arts and music, medical services to children, and expanding the horizons of educational achievement for youth.

Over the past five years, Sabor del Valle has brought together an increasing number of winemakers from Napa, Sonoma and the greater Silicon Valley region, along with local restaurants, markets, musicians and artists. We are proud to serve as a partner in promoting many of the best Latin / vintners and other boutique vintners in the Bay Area, and giving attendees the opportunity to meet these winemakers in person. We also enjoy giving our attendees a chance to talk with the leaders and some of the individuals served by the inspiring nonprofits that we support. Ideally, we hope that Sabor del Valle inspires people to invest more of their time and philanthropy in these nonprofits to make the Bay Area a better place for everyone to live.

Since its founding in 2009, Sabor del Valle has raised more than $ 54,000 to support Bay Area nonprofits! With your support, we will continue to provide grants to more worthy organizations.
