A special wines-by-the glass menu will be available, as well as cheese pairings and case discounts on select HANNA vintages.

The Second Saturday concept was born from the rewarding results HANNA winery experienced hosting similarly structured, fire relief benefits.  Different Sonoma County NPO beneficiaries have been selected and supported, with an aim of spreading the giving to a variety of causes: youth, educational, environmental, arts, an social welfare. The series will extend through August, 2018, just prior to the annual grape harvest.

HANNA Winery has recently supported: Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation, Healdsburg Education Foundation, Corozon Healdsburg, Community Foundation of Sonoma County, The Imaginists Theater Collective,  Railroad Square Music Festival, Girls on the Run, Healdsburg Jazz Festival, The Voigt Family Sculpture Foundation, the Healdsburg Wrestling Club, and Sebastopol Center for the Arts.

More about Kate Gaffney:

“There’s something about Kate…something a little 80’s, a little 90’s, with a touch of the modern day, all steeped in the Summer of Love..” – Aaron Redner

 Kate Gaffney, singer-songwriter-guitarist, honed her skills in her native Philadelphia, jumped from coast to coast and toured everywhere in between. After laying musical roots in Northern California, building a strong base in Sacramento, she found her niche within the fertile San Francisco Bay Area music community. With Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, High Sierra Music Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival, and Hangtown Music Festival performances under her belt, she is thrilled to be playing with some of the bay area’s best local, touring musicians.

More about The Gypsy Trio:

This is Northern California's premier hot club jazz band/ Northern California's premiere Gypsy Jazz Ensemble, and winner of the North Bay Music Award.

"We have hit a sweet spot here with Gypsy Jazz," says Guitarist, Ian Scherer, a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "Everyone in the band has played the gamut of musical styles - from Rock to Latin & Salsa and then Classic Jazz, so Gypsy Jazz was an interesting new challenge for us to stretch our musicality.´ "The timing couldn't be better with the genre regaining popularity. It's combination of the sophisticated harmony of Jazz with rhythms and unique enthusiasm appeals to a contemporary audience."

More about COTS: Founded in early 1988, COTS was an expression of Mary Isaak’s and Laura Reichek’s concern for children and adults who were sleeping outdoors in culverts, dumpsters or other unsafe and unsuitable conditions. Reichek and Isaak raised money from private donors, enlisted the support of the faith community and fraternal organizations, educated the larger community, and monitored sleepovers at temporary shelters throughout the city, as they spearheaded the drive for homeless services in Petaluma.

Copperfield’s Bookstore’s basement, the United Methodist Church, Elim Lutheran Church and a house on Howard Street were all early sites for COTS’ homeless shelter.
