Sip, Savor & Spark 2026

With the Golden Gate as your backdrop, this is more than a tasting. It’s a chance to slow down, share stories, and spark connections with wineries and others who appreciate a good pour and great company. Here’s what’s in store: Wine Country Comes to You: Spend the afternoon sampling wines from a wide selection of California vineyards, all without leaving the city. Winery list available below. Curious or Seasoned? Everyone’s Welcome: Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or just getting started, enjoy a welcoming space to explore your palate. Incredible Value: Many of these wineries typically charge $65–$150 per tasting. Your ticket provides access to a wide range of tastings, food, and entertainment in one unforgettable setting. Because the fair market value of these benefits equals or exceeds the ticket price, tickets are not tax-deductible charitable contributions. Only gifts made separately, above the ticket price, may qualify as charitable donations. Sip with Purpose: Just as a spark can ignite a fire, your participation helps fuel transformation. Ticket purchases generate revenue that supports The Guardsmen’s mission to provide scholarships and camperships for under-resourced Bay Area youth—helping spark opportunities that can change the course of a young person’s life.
