Silver Sensation: Rocking Good Time at Jubilee
The 25th Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee’s silver celebration was a rocking, sold-out success, thanks to thousands of supporters, a tent full of fabulous food, wine and brewery vendors, and special musical performances, including a surprise appearance by international rock star Jacoby Shaddix.
Shaddix, lead singer of the Vacaville-rooted band Papa Roach, sang a number of acoustical songs before an electrified audience of old and new fans. His performance came after ticket-holders had already spent a couple of hours enjoying an array of foods and wines from more than 120 vendors, and then learning who had won cash prizes and the Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the Jubilee Raffle.

Popular Fundraiser for NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement Programs
Over the years, the Solano Wine & Food Jubilee, as the primary fundraiser for the programs of NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement, has become the one party few want to miss. The 
first Jubilee was a small wine and cheese party held in the social hall of a local church. Now, 25 years later, Solano County’s biggest fund-raising gala has outgrown every building in the county, and must now be held in the biggest tent available.
Despite its popularity and growth, one thing has not changed: The event’s primary purpose is to raise funds that will benefit the programs of NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement. Hospice care elevates the quality of life by relieving pain and symptoms and by providing compassionate support. With an emphasis on caring for the individual, rather than curing a disease, hospice care maintains a patient's comfort while also tending to the needs of the patient's family and friends. NorthBay Hospice provides its services to all, regardless of their ability to pay, and includes access to an integrated program of physical, emotional and spiritual care for the terminally ill. 
For the special Silver Anniversary, the Jubilee will continue to feature the food and drink of the area’s finest wineries, breweries and restaurants. More than 120 of these vendors will plate their signature dishes and pour special beverages for a crowd of about 2,000 Jubilee celebrants. Also included in the evening's festivities is a silent auction, an evening of desserts and dancing to The Time Bandits, one of the area's most popular bands. Also on tap this year is a $35,000 raffle, with the top prize being a 2012 Electra Glide Ultra Limited motorcycle in Vivid Black, donated by Harley-Davidson (MSRP $23,999) and $11,000 in cash prizes. Other exciting “Silver Surprises” are on tap, as well.
