Sip & Stroll: Tasting Fundraiser for Graton Town Square

Fundraiser walkabout for Graton Town Square with local wine, seasonal bites, meet growers and makers, and help build what’s next for Graton!

Join us for a joyful early summer evening in the heart of Graton as Graton Community Services District (GCSD) and ReVillage Foundation invite you to experience the future of Graton Town Square.

Guests will enjoy an immersive stroll with local wine tastings, seasonal bites and dips by Preservatory, paired with fresh produce from local farmers. The event will preview the vision for Graton Town Square, including design and build plans, future gathering spaces, gardens, festivals, community programs, and the path ahead.

There will also be a mini farmers market featuring local produce and plant starts available for purchase.

Our hope is that guests leave feeling more connected to local community, inspired by the meaningful work taking shape in Graton, and energized to participate in building Graton Town Square with us - whether through a direct donation, volunteering time or expertise, becoming a founding supporter, or simply helping spread the word.
