New Venue for Wine Tasting

In addition to our name change, other big news for 2023 is the date and venue change for the annual fundraiser. The 67th Wine & Food Tasting will be held on Saturday, August 19, 2023 at Swank Farms (traditionally this event has been held the weekend after Labor Day). Funds raised will still be used to support adoption, foster care and mental health services for our youth here in San Benito County.

 “We are very excited about the new date and location, and our iconic event will continue to be amazing.  Lovers of good wine and food can still enjoy California’s oldest wine tasting experience while raising funds to provide adoption, foster care and mental health services for our youth in San Benito County,” stated the chairwomen of the event, Danielle Burke, Nashelle Tilbury and Kris Waller.

Funds raised from the Wine & Food Tasting have provided annual scholarships to local students, grants to other non-profits with like missions, grants to foster families for supplemental funding, and foster family appreciation gift cards. Funds were also used to open an office in downtown Hollister for families to get the training and support locally to become a foster or adoptive family.

 This office will soon be the Seneca San Benito Outpatient Services, providing integrative therapy, family support and prevention services to youth and families residing in San Benito County.
