Mark your calendar for an afternoon of wagging tails, great wine, and good company. On Sunday, August 24, from 1 to 5 p.m., The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa hosts Wag, Wine & Dine: A Culinary Adventure for Pups and Their People. Every ticket sold helps Waggin’ Trails Rescue Foundation save and rehome dogs in need, so you can sip, savor, and support a great cause all at once.

Picture yourself on the Carneros Ballroom & Activity Lawn with a glass of Napa Valley wine in hand, your pup by your side, and music drifting through the summer air. More than 20 wineries will be pouring, and local chefs will be serving gourmet bites to keep the flavors flowing. Choose General Admission for $125 or step up to VIP for $150, which includes reserve wine tastings, a commemorative engraved glass, and a gift bag. Kids ages 6 to 12 can join the fun for $45, making this a celebration the whole family can enjoy. Get your tickets here.

The day will be filled with live music, exciting live and silent auctions, and the always-adorable Pooch Pageant, where pups show off their style and charm. Well-behaved dogs on non-retractable leashes are welcome, so your four-legged friend can be part of the festivities. Come ready to relax, mingle, and make memories, knowing that every pour, bite, and bid is helping rescue dogs find their forever homes.
