[PHOTOS] Greek gods, grapes, and good times at Gay Wine Weekend 2025

Gay Wine Weekend, July 18 to 20, draws hundreds of visitors from across the United States for a packed weekend of queer festivities in scenic Sonoma Wine Country.

Wine aficionados alike gather to explore the luxurious destination with winemaker dinners, vineyard tours, VIP experiences, and, of course, the signature Twilight T-Dance, which was hosted by La Crema Winery this year.

Buckle up, because we’re hitting the road for a tipsy tour of LGBTQ+-owned breweries, wineries, and distilleries

It’s a nonstop agenda for those looking to imbibe, with a welcome reception on Friday and dinners at restaurants and vineyards across the region, where guests are treated to food pairings, wine tastings, and one-on-one experiences with respective winemakers.

On Saturday, the day is filled with morning winery tours, daytime activities, and the T-Dance, while Sunday caps off the weekend with a drag brunch (hosted this year by RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Scarlet Envy and local queens) and a pool party.

There was no shortage of Dionysus lookalikes — the Greek god of wine — or glasses consumed, and thankfully, you can already make reservations for next year’s Gay Wine Weekend from July 17 to 19.

But for now, enjoy some of our favorite snaps from three days of gay in wine country.
