A Day in the Country is Here Again!

The Yolo Land Trust’s signature fundraiser – A Day in the Country – is being held on Sunday, September 11, 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Park Winters.  This is a benefit for the Yolo Land Trust which highlights the diverse and bountiful farmland of Yolo County, bringing together producers and consumers at the beautiful setting of Park Winters, the 1865 Victorian house on the historic George Washington Scott Ranch, located at 27850 County Road 26, just north of Winters.  The grounds surrounding the house will be open to the public specifically for this event.

I personally loved my experience last year, which you can read about here, I put this event up there as the BEST food & wine event/ fundraiser in the Northern California area. This includes Best of, Soil Born, and all the wine drinking events. So with such a high bar, it's hard to miss this for all the true foodies.

Chefs from Northern California’s best restaurants will prepare a splendid array of seasonal dishes using the best of Yolo County’s farms and ranches, complimented by Yolo County wines.  Last year’s delicious dishes included organic striped figs with goat cheese wrapped in prosciutto, chili verde with summer vegetables grilled to perfection, chilled Greek salad with squid crostini and aioli, and vegetarian chiveche with pico de gallo, to name just a few. 

Yolo County restaurants serving this year include Buckhorn Catering, C2 Steak & Seafood, Konditorei Austrian Pastry Café, Main Street Café, Monticello, Nugget Market Kitchen, Osteria Fasulo, Silvina’s Basket, Tazzina Bistro, Tucos Wine Market and Café.

Sacramento restaurants include Biba Restaurant, Esquire Bar and Grill, Grange, L Wine Lounge, Lucca Restaurant and Bar, Mulvaney’s B&L, and Spataro Restaurant and Bar.

Restaurants from the San Francisco Bay Area include Bar Agricole, Chez Panisse, Dopo Restaurant, Gabriella Café, Gather, Lalime’s, Mission Beach Café, Oliveto, Piazza D’Angelo Ristorante, Plum and Slow Club.

Local wine will be poured by Berryessa Gap, Bogle Vineyards, Capay Valley Vineyards, Crew Wine Company, Heringer Estate Winery, Marr Cellars, Putah Creek Winery, Rominger West Winery, Route 3 Wines, Séka Hills, Senders Wines, Simas Family Vineyard and Turkovich Winery. Sierra Nevada Beer will also be served.

Music will be provided by Yolo County favorite, the Plainfield Pickers.

Youngsters will find fun activities at the Kid’s Corner.  There will also be a silent auction including  golf, wine and vacation rentals.

Funds raised at A Day in the Country support the work of the Yolo Land Trust, a nonprofit organization committed to conserving farmland and habitat resources in Yolo County.  If you love locally grown food, you will love the work the Yolo Land Trust is doing - permanently keeping farms in Yolo County.
