What?!
Big West is back, baby! Join us for year two of Sonoma County’s Favorite Natural Wine Festival: two days of revelry under the redwoods, a pageant of poppies, a vinous carnival for the ages. Big West celebrates the mainstay makers and the fresh faces, the big and the small, the farmers and the land, the people and wines that make up Sonoma County’s vibrant world of natural wine.
And it’s TWO DAYS! This year features an all-star lineup of local producers pouring their vin du pays, local talent to serenade you as you sip, plus a stellar roster of vendors: offering everything from pierogies to plant-dyed painter pants. Check the roster for the lineups by day!
There’s much to discover:
- All you can taste wine & cider from 50+ local producers per day!
- Live, local music all day long
- FREE ice cream from Alec’s Ice Cream
- A barn-raising, soul-nourishing food hall
- Our screenprint-your-own merch station. Bring your own garment or pick out something from our secondhand selection from Beni
- Supervised kids attend free on both days but don’t forget to add on a ticket for Sunday Kids Camp at checkout!

How?
The power of community! Big West is run by two friends, three wagons, and a bunch of spreadsheets. We’re here to create a container to catch the magic of Sonoma County’s natural wine network for a brief moment each summer. BIG thank you to the volunteers, thought partners and generous sponsors who support the care and keeping of the fest!
