Carneros Run Brings Out Young & Old Despite Threatening Weather


Artesa sponsored and hosted another successful Carneros Vineyard 5K/10K Run on March 26th. The race, benefiting the Carneros Volunteer Fire Department, featured kids and adults including 90-year-old Lois Gammon (pictured here and featured in a Napa Valley Register article).

All braved spring rainy conditions to walk, run and cheer on participants from the winery down the hill, around Carneros and back again. Then they were treated to massages, wine and breakfast (and birthday cake with Lois, who had became a nonagenarian -- the term for someone entering their nineties -- the day before the race) in Artesa's subterranean barrel room.

"It was fun to bring everyone together and see the adventuresome spirit and everyone's high energy level," said Artesa Vice President & General Manager Rich Richardson, who took these posted pictures and had early on encouraged the staff to lace up running shoes for the occasion.

Thanks to everyone who turned out, walked, ran, volunteered and cheered. Hope to see you next year!
