Sacramento Home Winemakers’ Jubilee Picnic and Awards Party will be Sunday May 17, 2026. Mark your calendars! At the Picnic, you’ll hear about which wines and wine makers earned the top awards at the previous day’s Jubilee Wine Competition.
The location will be Judy Pinegar’s Back Yard and Barn as in past years. The picnic begins at 1 PM with the main course service planned for about 2 PM.
The club provides select meat entrees, homemade chili beans, and lots of water. Wines
from the competition will be available for tasting, including the Golds and Best of Show. There have been over 140 wine entries some years.
Please bring a dish to share at the potluck: appetizer, salad, entree, or dessert according to the following list based of the first initial of your surname:
- A – J = Entrées/Salad
- K – M= Desserts
- N – Z = Appetizers
Remember to bring your own wine glasses.
Jubilee judging sheets will be at the Picnic in the barn so don’t forget to pick up yours. The sheets will also be at the June SHW meeting.
Make your picnic reservations online using this FORM and reserve by May 8. Members are $10 and members’ guests are $15 (please, every person or couple should also bring a dish to share). Judy’s address will be on your reservation confirmation that you’ll receive when your transaction is complete.
For those of you who are new to the event, Judy’s place has 2 ½ acres with room to explore nature in the spring. Some of Judy’s lawn chairs are available, but club members should bring their own lawn chairs, blankets, or whatever if they want to be sure to have a place to sit on the lawn under the trees.
The event is great fun lawn games are available. The party sometimes goes until dark… so plan on making a day of it! All members are welcome! Members’ children, guests, and pets “only if they are friendly to other pets” are welcome! The pool could be opened but requires full-time parental supervision.
Please email Judy at judypinegar@gmail.com if you can generously volunteer or need directions.
