Nor Cal Public Media The 4th Annual Food & Wine Awards

NorCal Public Media will host its 4th Annual Stars of Food & Wine Awards on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, CA. Join us for a tasting experience, chef’s dinner and awards ceremony. Enjoy wine, a dinner sourced from nearby farms, presentations by chefs and artisans. The Stars of Food & Wine awards celebrates individuals and organizations that exemplify excellence, innovation, and a commitment to the betterment of our local communities and environment through agriculture, viticulture, sustainability, education and compassion. This event is a benefit for Northern California Public Media (PBS/NPR).

The Stars of Food and Wine Awards honor the individuals, families, and organizations across agriculture, viticulture, food, wine, and food justice who are shaping a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future. These honorees are not simply leaders in their fields—they are visionaries whose work embodies the forward-looking action our region and our planet urgently need. Each of the nominees puts community at the heart of their mission, embracing a true “triple bottom line”-- a commitment to people, planet, and prosperity, proving that environmental responsibility and economic vitality can rise together. Their leadership reminds us that change is not only possible, but is already happening right here at home.
