What is Wine Country Casual?

Wine country casual is relaxed yet polished. Think stylish outfits that keep you comfortable while still feeling put-together. This isn’t a black-tie gala, but it’s also more than jeans and a T-shirt. It’s the perfect balance between laid-back and refined—just like Sonoma County itself.

That said—there’s no hard-and-fast rule for Wine Country to the Rescue. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and have fun! We’re providing this guide purely as inspiration so you can make your own style decision.

For the Ladies

Wine country casual gives women plenty of options to show off their style while staying comfortable for an evening outdoors. Here are some ideas:

  • Dresses or Skirts: Flowy maxi dresses, sundresses, or knee-length skirts are perfect for wine country elegance. Choose breathable fabrics like cotton or linen.

  • Pants or Jumpsuits: Wide-leg pants, stylish jumpsuits, or tailored slacks paired with a fun blouse work beautifully.

  • Layers: Even in summer, evenings can cool off, so bring a light sweater, wrap, or denim jacket.

  • Footwear: Wedges, sandals, or flats are great options. Avoid high heels—they’re not ideal for walking on grass or gravel.

  • Accessories: Keep it simple with statement earrings, sunglasses, and a sunhat for daytime festivities.



For the Gentlemen

Guys, you can’t go wrong with casual, yet sharp attire. Here’s what works:

  • Shirts: A button-up shirt, polo, or short-sleeve linen shirt keeps you looking classy and cool.

  • Pants: Chinos, slacks, or dark jeans work great—skip the shorts unless it’s an exceptionally warm day.

  • Shoes: Loafers, dress shoes, or even nice boots. Comfortable footwear is key for enjoying the evening.

  • Jackets: A light blazer or sweater adds a polished look without being too formal.

Don’t Forget Practical Tips

  1. Bring Layers: Northern Sonoma County evenings can cool down, so a sweater or light jacket is essential.

  2. Comfortable Shoes: The event is outdoors, so wear shoes that are comfortable on grass or gravel paths.

  3. Sunglasses and Hats: If you’re attending during daylight hours, sunglasses and a stylish hat are not only fashionable but practical.

  4. Avoid Overdressing: Remember, this is a casual, outdoor event—not a black-tie affair.

Wine Country Style with Confidence

At the end of the day, Wine Country to the Rescue is about fun, community, and celebration. While wine country casual is a great place to start, we want you to feel comfortable and express your own personal style.

There’s no right or wrong outfit—just come ready to enjoy the evening, support a great cause, and have an unforgettable time.
