We invite you to join the Napa County Farm Bureau at our annual Love of the Land event. Every year we have the privilege to work our vineyards with dedicated farmers and employees who come together to create an annual harvest made possible only in the Napa Valley. 

 We look forward to celebrating the evening with you at Louis Martini Winery, helping raise funds for the Napa County Farm Bureau, an organization that has, is, and will continue to defend agriculture today and for generations to come.  Together at Love of the Land, we'll celebrate another harvest and continue to proudly honor our agricultural community.
