At the heart of this evening stands our presenting sponsor, The Mill Keeper. Their commitment to preserving the legacy of María Ignacia Soberanes Bale, who operated the Bale Grist Mill in the mid-1800s, is truly remarkable. Founder Tom Gamble shares, “The Napa Valley’s first mill keepers, like María, laid the foundation for the wine industry as we know it today, and we are proud to partner with the Napa Valley State Parks to support this historic site.” It's thanks to partners like The Mill Keeper that we're able to create a truly magical experience for all.

Get ready to delight your taste buds with Elaine Bell Catering, known for their culinary expertise. Blending global flavors with a modern touch, creating an unforgettable dining experience for all.

Discover the heart and soul of the mill through Mad Fritz Brewing Co., our Beer Sponsor, as they pour their passion and craftsmanship into exceptional brews.

Raise your glass, as Charles Krug Winery, our Bubbles Sponsor, transports you to the mill's roots deeply embedded in Napa Valley's history. Carolina Bale, daughter of Maria and Edward Bale, married Charles Krug who founded the first winery in Napa County on land granted by her family.

Beyond the flavors and festivities, remember that the Annual Harvest Dinner is a celebration with a cause. By participating, you're supporting the preservation of Napa Valley State Parks, ensuring these local treasures are safeguarded for generations.
