Art & Wine in the Garden with BirchBark

On Friday, July 12, we invite you to a truly special evening where art, wine and compassion come together under the summer sky. Held at the breathtaking Sierra Azul Nursery and Gardens in rural Watsonville, BirchBark's annual Art & Wine is more than a fundraiser — it’s a celebration of connection, creativity and the deep bond between pets and their people.

At BirchBark, we believe no pet should ever be lost due to financial hardship. Our mission provides urgent financial assistance for life-saving veterinary care, as well as grief support for those who have lost a beloved companion. This event fuels that mission — ensuring families never have to make impossible decisions alone.

And this year, a community of generous artists, chefs, winemakers and sponsors has stepped forward to help. Each artist is donating a portion of their proceeds, and every ticket purchased supports pets in crisis.

Wander through Sierra Azul’s two-acre sculpture garden, surrounded by color, texture and artistic expression. Our featured artists are offering more than their creations — they're offering their hearts.

Your $95 ticket includes artful small bites from some of the region’s finest culinary creators (while supplies last), plus 2 drink tickets for wine, beer or cider. Additional pours available: $10 per glass, $15 for 2 glasses.
