The Wine Makers – Sonoma Pride

With Pride Month just around the corner, we invited two leaders from Sonoma’s LGBTQ+ community to give us the rundown on the events, celebrations, and activities happening throughout the summer.

Gary Saperstein, owner and co-founder of Out In The Vineyard, joins us to talk about creating LGBTQ+ travel and wine country experiences, including winery tours, special events, and the nationally recognized Gay Wine Weekend. The three-day festival brings together visitors from across North America for wine, food, entertainment, and community in Sonoma Valley.

We’re also joined by Lisa Storment, president of Wake UP Sonoma, who discusses her advocacy work and the organization’s efforts to support LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, promote civic engagement, and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout Sonoma County. Together, they share what’s ahead for Pride season and why these events continue to matter to the community. [Ep 412]
