70th Annual Kinship Seneca Wine and Food Tasting
Located at Kinship Seneca, the annual Wine and Food Tasting welcomed its 70th year on Aug 29 at Paicines Ranch, where the very first tasting happened.
Kinship Seneca’s History
Founded as the El Torillo Chapter of the Children’s Home Society in 1956, the volunteering organization became part of the Kinship Center in 1990, and later joined the Seneca Family of Agencies in 2011.
Kinship Seneca’s Contribution
“This event has done a lot for Seneca, in terms of providing foster and adoptive care and mental health services. Our third-generation membership guarantees the continuity of our support,” says Kris Waller, a member of the organization.
Waller currently serves as the President of the Board of Directors of BenitoLink.
Evolution of the Annual Wine and Food Tasting
The inaugural event was an invitation-only gathering with 200 attendees, featuring a fashion show with members as models and music from local bands. Almaden wine and an assortment of cheeses from Marin French Cheese Company were the highlights of the tasting.
Seeing the success of the first event, the following year’s attendance grew to 300 guests, and by 1974, the guest list grew to exceed 950. A move to the Joseph Annotti estate the next year allowed for a more ambitious presentation, adding BBQ sausages and appetizers. Respective additions of 12 wineries and 23 restaurants by 1989 further enriched the celebrations.
Relocation to Original Venue
The event was moved to Paiches Ranch, previously known as the Law Ranch, in 1989. The relocation resulted in an increase in capacity, with just over 1,000 guests attending that year.
A Successful Fundraising Event
The Wine and Food Tasting is the chapter’s largest fundraiser. This year’s estimated earnings, based on ticket sales at $100 per person and over $33,000 raised from the live and silent auctions, suggest that the previous year’s record of $125,000 has been significantly surpassed.
Utilization of Funds
The funds raised are used towards several service programs across the state, provided by the Seneca Organization. These services reach up to 25,000 youths and their families each year and include enhanced managed care, funding for schools, foster care programs, and outpatient clinics, including one in San Benito County.
