The Sonoma County Planning Commission are set to vote on a draft ordinance this Thursday regarding winery events.
The ordinance would set new rules for winery events including rules about parking, food service, event coordination with neighbors, and noise. It would apply to those seeking news permits or wineries wanting to modify their existing permits.

If approved by the commission, the Board of Supervisors would need to approve the ordinance which is expected to happen in August.
