Something Fun: Earth Day Around the Altamont Pass

Earth Day is on Sunday, April 22nd this year, and I've found a few events around the area that you may enjoy.

Wente Vineyards is having a really cool celebration, with family friendly activities.  There will be presentations on sustainability at Wente, tours around the gardens and sanctuary at the golf course, activity booths for kids and adults, and of course, wine tasting.  Most activities are free, but you'll have to pay for wine tastings and food purchases. The event takes place from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM and more information can be found here: http://www.wentevineyards.com/news/event_list/earth_day_celebration/

And if you want to take a little drive, Stockton is holding their Annual Earth Day Festival, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with entertainment, booths and exhibits, a Family Fun Bike Ride, as well as food and clothing drives.  You can get more information on the free event here: http://livegreensanjoaquin.org/index.htm

Concannon Vineyard is also celebrating Earth Day with special tours and tastings, although this one seems like it's more for the adults.  I can't really tell when these events are available - just on Earth Day or on any other day, as well.  This information is mostly courtesy of PR Web, supposedly from a press release by Concannon, but it's difficult to find the same exact information on their website.  Here's the link to the article on PR Web.  And you can go to their website here: http://www.ConcannonVineyard.com
