The Sonoma community came together for a 'Wine Country Dinner – Sherpa Family Benefit' Thursday, demonstrating the strong bonds between the local community and the Sherpa families affected by devastating earthquakes in Nepal.
The fundraising event brought together local restaurants, wineries, and community members in a show of solidarity. Dozens of local businesses donated food, wine, and services to support the cause.
The evening featured authentic Sherpa cuisine alongside local Wine Country favorites, live entertainment, and heartfelt stories from community members about the impact of the earthquakes on their families and villages in Nepal.
Funds raised went directly to earthquake relief efforts, supporting rebuilding homes, schools, and monasteries in affected regions of Nepal. The success of the event highlighted the generosity of the Sonoma community and the deep connections that bind the Sherpa diaspora to their homeland.
