Ramona Valley Vineyard Association

Ramona Wineries participated in a fundraiser event for the Intermountain Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department Auxiliary July 30th at the new and beautiful Ramona Public Library.

The theme of the evening was “The Plot Thickens, a Night of Mystery at the Library”. Many folks showed up in beautiful costumes.

As part of the fundraiser, six wineries in Ramona, including Mahogany Mountain Vineyard & Winery, Pamo Valley Winery, Chuparosa Vineyards, Woof’n Rose Winery, Kohill Winery, Edwards Vineyard & Cellars and Pyramid Vineyard & Winery, offered wine tastings and donated wines to the fundraiser volunteers for selling by the glass to raise funds for the event. Several party goers commented on the high quality of Ramona wines that were being offered for tasting. People from other towns were unaware of all the wineries in Ramona. This gave us, winemakers and winegrowers, a chance to chat with the public about grape growing, handcrafted wines and wine making process.

It was truly a fun evening for a good cause. All proceeds from this event will be used for the daily operating expenses for the Intermountain Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. With the fire season approaching, it's a worthwhile cause that would benefit the fire fighting force in the backcountry.
