Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards Donates $50k for North Bay Wildfire Victims

Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards has donated $50,000 to the Redwood Credit Union North Bay Fire Relief Fund in support of the victims of the historic wildfires that ravaged homes and businesses, spreading throughout Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, and Lake counties in October, 2017.

One hundred percent of the tasting fee for the special “Glorious Relief Flight” and one dollar from every bottle purchased in the Gloria Ferrer Visitor Center, on the website or over the phone in October went toward the fundraising effort. Additional donations from the winery’s employees and a 2 to 1 matching donation from Freixenet USA, Gloria Ferrer’s parent company, supplemented this effort.

“We’re deeply grateful to all the organizations and individuals who have generously donated to the North Bay Fire Relief fund to help support fire survivors and relief efforts in our community.”
– Matt Martin, Redwood Credit Union’s Vice President of Community Relations
