The 27th Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee is moving! After several years at the Nut Tree Complex in Vacaville, this year’s gala will be held at the newly opened Specialty Event Center in Fairfield, on April 25.

The facility, located at 300 Chadbourne Road, is large enough to easily accommodate the Jubilee’s 2,000-plus ticket-holders, the more than 120 wine, brew and food vendors, an array of silent auction tables, a special VIP area and, for those fans of The Time Bandits, an expanded dance floor.

The Jubilee Raffle will feature a top prize of a choice between two new cars—a Nissan Altima and a Buick Encore— courtesy of Vacaville Buick/Dodge/Nissan.

The Solano Wine & Food Jubilee, organized by the NorthBay Healthcare Foundation to support the programs of NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement, has become the biggest and most popular fund-raising event in Solano County.

Funds raised enable NorthBay to provide physical, emotional and spiritual care for the terminally ill, regardless of their ability to pay. With this support, these patients and their families are able to live their final days as peacefully and comfortably as possible.

Presenting sponsors for 2014 are Theatre DeVille, Gold’s Gym, Vacaville Buick/Dodge/Nissan, Freeman Family & Cosmetic Dentistry and Al and Patt Shaw.

The Solano Wine & Food Jubilee, a black tie-optional affair (denim discouraged), begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets, for those ages 21 and over, must be purchased in advance and are $75 before March 17 and $100 afterwards.
