The annual Women, Wine & Cheese Fundraiser was held at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa in Sonoma on Friday, April 23. The event supported the YWCA of Sonoma County, which is the county’s only confidential safe home for women and children victims of domestic violence. The event raised over $50,000 and included a three course luncheon with wine served by women winemakers. We stopped by to check out the marketplace, which featured cheesemakers from Sonoma & Marin hand selected by Sheana Davis, cheesemaker and owner of The Epicurean Connection in Sonoma. ywca.org
