By FBWorld Team

On Saturday, May 18, 2019, the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Education Foundation (SCMWEF) hosts the fifth annual Silicon Valley Wine Auction benefiting the Oxford Teacher Academy and Silicon Valley Education Foundation Elevate Math program. With a goal of raising funds to transform education through innovation, the auction has raised over $3.7 million dollars since the inaugural event in 2015.

The dinner will take place at Eden Estates, the private home of John Couch, who was formerly the vice president of education for Apple. The evening begins with a walk-around tasting of Santa Cruz Mountains wines poured by the winemakers themselves. Following the tasting, guests will be invited to dinner, which will be prepared by Caterer Pamela and Co. Menu highlights include, a red wine risotto, filet of beef tenderloin with a pinot noir porcini chive glaze and a chocolate tartufo bomba for dessert, all paired with premium wines from the AVA.

Throughout dinner, guests will be treated to speeches and performances by special guests. Notable attendees include Dr. Todd Rose, author of End of Average and Dark Horse and founder of Populace.org; Mark Presky, author and the executive director of the Global Future Education Foundation and Institute; and Esther Wojcicki, educator and author of How to Raise Successful Kids.

Highlights from the auction include intimate wine dinners with principles of Santa Cruz Mountains wineries such as Ridge Vineyards, House Family Vineyards and Eden Estates, as well as a weekend experience at the private ranch of Scott Cook and Signe Otsby.
