The 26th Annual 2013 Solano Wine & Food Jubilee, the area’s premiere food- and wine-tasting event, returns to the Nut Tree Complex in Vacaville on April 19, 2013.

The Jubilee, organized by NorthBay Healthcare Foundation
to support the programs of NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement, has raised more than $2.8 million, enabling NorthBay to provide physical, emotional and spiritual care for the terminally ill, regardless of their ability to pay. This year, two additional fund-raising events precede the Jubilee: Passport Sunday and the Tour de Rustic Wine Country Bike Ride on April 14. For information, go to SVEVENTS.com or call (707) 688-6637.
