On Sunday afternoon July 10th 2016, under perfect weather conditions, The vintners of Los Altos Hills were invited to a Vintners Appreciation Event at Town Hall. The event was held from 3-6 pm around the Heritage Oak Tree at the Los Altos Hills Town Hall, with approximately 27 vintners represented. The Town of Los Altos Hills and Hills 2000 - Friends of the Hills were pleased to co-sponsor this wine event to recognize the vinters for their participation in the public wine-tasting event held last October .
