LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Wine Alliance has opened the beneficiaries application process for nonprofit organizations seeking grants through the annual Wine Auction.

The Lake County 2022 Wine Auction presented by Adventist Health distributed $300,000 to 40 different 2022 beneficiaries.

This was made possible due to the event’s sponsors, the generosity of Shannon Family of Wines for the use of the venue and the generous bidding the evening of the event.

The application process to be chosen for funds from the 2023 22nd Annual Lake County Wine Auction is now open. Go to winealliance.org to submit an application.

The deadline for submission of applications is May 1, 2023.
