This year's Kibble & BidsTM is an event not to be missed! Join us for a fun-filled evening of fabulous wines, craft beers, gourmet food, live music, silent auction, raffle, a "Wall of Wine" feature, an exciting live auction with several premium offerings, and many other fun activities...

A special Sponsor Hour, to say thank you to our wonderful sponsors, begins at 5:00 pm with "Golden Greeters" and our new Concierge Check-In (no waiting in line; you simply walk in, are handed a wine glass and begin enjoying the event!). Sponsor and their guests will enjoy the live jazz stylings of "Take Four" and be served delectable passed appetizers while enjoying early access to all of our fabulous food and beverage purveyors, as well as the silent auction, raffle, and museum exhibits. During our live auction, sponsors will have the best seats in the house whether bidding or enjoying the entertainment. Check out just a few of our exciting auction items!

Beginning at 6:00 pm., our "Golden Greeters" and "Take Four" will welcome general admission guests to Kibble & BidsTM. Throughout the evening, guests will be entertained by the "Rivergate" band's renditions of classic rock, blues, country and contemporary tunes, while enjoying fabulous food tastings, wine, and brews. After seeing what choice items our silent auction and raffle offer, check out the museum exhibits. We'll have knowledgeable museum docents on hand to answer questions and point out some of the more unique exhibits.

In keeping with our Tuscan theme, we're showcasing a new feature called, "Il grandi muro di vino" (The Great Wall of Wine). Buy a cork with a bottle number on it and you get that bottle, guaranteed to be worth more than what you paid for the cork!

Some of the area's premium purveyors of food and drink will be on hand to serve you. Click here to see who's scheduled to be on hand.

Kibble & BidsTM is one of the Sacramento area's premier events. And all of the funds generated by this event goes to help the Homeward Bound Goldens. A good cause and a great evening!
