The fourth annual Sonoma County Barrel Auction raised $840,700, a 6 percent increase over the previous year.

About 500 people attended the event held Friday at MacMurray Estate Vineyards in Healdsburg. Included in the total amount raised was $99,000 to assist those who were affected by the October wildfires, the announcement by Sonoma County Vintners stated.
