The Epicurean Connection ~ Specialty Cheese Marketing and Culinary Education

The Sonoma Six Pack Harvest Celebration was started in 1992, as was The Epicurean Connection, Taylor Maid Farm, Lagunitas Brewery and Artisan Bakers.
Together we started to host an annual celebration and invite our friends, family and businesses to celebrate the annual harvest in Northern California.

Each year we welcome guests to celebrate harvest in a new location, as to share the bounty of Sonoma and Marin County, along with educate our guests about our region, history, agriculture, viticulture, dairy and cheese, coffee, brewing and much more.

Annually we invite a non-profit to attend to educate the guests upon their services offered. Our guests have included Food For Thought, AIDS Food Bank, Sonoma Land Trust, Sonoma Charter School, Marin Agriculture Land Trust, Sonoma Skate Park, Sebastopol Community Garden, Pauline Bond Community Garden Sonoma Culinary Guild, Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, Percy Schmisser Foundation and Sonoma Valley Historical Society.

In addition to a non profit, we feature an artist each year, including Sonoma Charter School students, Tom Collins Pottery, Lisa Murray Painting, Patrick Scott Sculptures, Skate Board Art by Sonoma Teens, Stanley Mouse Posters and Thomas Rude Illustrations.

Live Music has been a long time part of our festivities and this year we feature The Spindles. In the past our musicians have included High Horse, Dana Land, Karina Davis, Ralph Citolea, Matt Dickey, Emma Ray and The Texas Bad Bozy, Public Sector, Disciples of Ed, Green Day, Chomp Hard and The Gualala Barbershop Quartet.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating Harvest!
