Out In The Vineyard, a luxury LGBT Wine Travel & Event Company and organizers of Gay Wine Weekend have partnered with Alaska Airlines to promote Alaska Airlines' new non-stop route from San Diego to Sonoma Country Wine Country, beginning June 5th.

Gay Wine Weekend is 3 days of LGBT events in one of the most famous luxury wine destinations in the world - Northern California's magnificent Sonoma Valley. Fly Alaska Airlines and spend Father's Day Weekend, June 15 - 17th, indulging in world class wine and culinary delights, music and dancing in a private estate vineyard, VIP Receptions, wine tasting excursions, International winemaker dinners, champagne brunch & wine auction.

If you are a wine lover, Gay Wine Weekend has  hit the radar as an international wine event, with Australian Wine Icon, Penfolds, on board as a major sponsor and is hosting a winemaker dinner with their luxury wine portfolio at the El Dorado Kitchen, located on the historic Sonoma Plaza; La Crema Wines hosts a winemaker dinner at internationally famous The Girl & The Fig restaurant; and boutique winery, B. Wise hosts at Estate Restaurant. Beer giant Anheuser-Busch recognizes a good thing and continues it's long term commitment to the LGBT community with Bud Light as a major sponsor of Gay Wine Weekend as well.

The signature event, Twilight T-Dance, is an experience all its own - 400 men and women wine tasting in a private 150 acre vineyard and dancing till dark to New York's DJ Corey Craig dance tracks at the bucolic Atwood Ranch in the heart of Jack London's Valley Of The Moon. Last year's sunset was legendary and the party nearly stopped as guests turned to watch the Sonoma Sky turn crimson over the lush green vineyards. You know if guys stop the cruising each other to watch the sunset, it's GOT to be stunning!

The weekend is rounded out with Ravenswood Winery hosting the VIP Wine Reception and Ravenswood Wine Lounge at host hotel, El Dorado Hotel; Sebastiani Vineyards hosting Cabaret Night with internationally famous SF Drag Diva, The Countess, Katya Smirnoff-Sky, performing in the historic Barrel Room and Sonoma Valley Lux wineries Benziger and Imagery are underwriting the Big Gay Wine Auction & Recovery Brunch AIDS fundraiser for Face to Face, Sonoma County AIDS Network.
