In partnership with Merrill Lynch, the Gonzales Group, Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance is excited to partner with SIFF and host its VIP Lounge Wine Bar, bringing our Vintner & Grower members and their wines to attendees each day of the festival.

Named “One of the 25 Coolest Festivals” by MovieMaker Magazine and one of America’s Top Ten Destination Film Festivals by USA Today, SIFF takes place every March in the Sonoma Valley. In addition to being a festival for and about film and filmmakers, SIFF also showcases the best of the Sonoma Valley region with several high-end culinary and wine events, namely the SIFF | Devour! Chefs & Shorts dinner, featuring celebrity chefs, and our SIFF Backlot Tent experience featuring industry panels, parties, wine and food pairings, and live entertainment.
