A Celebration of Purpose: Vivere a Skipstone

In the heart of Sonoma County, Levi’s GranFondo has become far more than North America’s premier cycling event—it has become a movement. 

Together, we have raised over $3.7 million for therapeutic and support programs that serve vulnerable children and young adults. We have also given more than 1,000 new bicycles to kids with the knowledge that it can be a powerful catalyst for positive change in their lives.

This year thanks to Skipstone’s support we have unveiled a new effort that funds initiatives that make biking more accessible to the demographic we serve. This allows us to truly pave the way for kids to find confidence, empowerment, and to discover the world through the lens of the bike.

Our mission is strong as the community behind it.

This year, the King Ridge Foundation invites you to a brand new experience: Vivere a Skipstone. Situated at the base of the Geysers amidst the Mayacamas Mountains, Skipstone Estate has graciously opened the doors of their brand-new, world-class winery to our most cherished guests.

The Experience Your contribution grants exclusive access to two days of world-class programming:

• Thursday: An unforgettable, immersive experience within the picturesque framework of Skipstone Estate. The evening will begin with a comfortable walk at your own pace through the beautiful hillside vineyards overlooking Sonoma County, followed by a gathering over food and drink as a lead into an appropriately fitted fine-dining experience inside of Skipstone’s brand new winery facility. There will be a short live auction opportunity for you to further support King Ridge Foundation with three unique auction items, and a fund-a-need. Finally, after dinner we encourage our guests to join us for a night cap in the yard of The Residence with stunning views of the valley below and a very special surprise to delight your senses.
• Friday: For the cyclists in the group, a private, fully-supported morning ride will start at Skipstone followed by an intimate lunch at The Residence. Guests who choose not to ride are treated to an optional yoga session at The Residence, a mind-clearing hike and an opportunity to relax, and truly enjoy one of the most spectacular private spaces that Sonoma County has to offer.

Your Impact To maintain the intimacy of this event, attendance is extremely limited. Less than 30 seats are available for purchase.

• A donation of $2,000 unlocks the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets at $250 each.
• For every additional $2,000 donated before April 1st, you may purchase an additional two tickets.

Join us above the Alexander Valley for a celebration par excellence. Open your hearts, support our youth, and experience the first annual Vivere a Skipstone.
