All proceeds benefited Historic Copperopolis via the Copperopolis Community Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the buildings, historic artifacts and history of Copperopolis.

“In addition to the wine, music and food, all guests were treated to an amazing tour of Historic Copperopolis via a free shuttle,” says Kim Hamilton, Director of Marketing for Castle & Cooke California, Inc. “The 20-minute tour will visit historic sites including the Armory, Cannon, Old Church and Copper Mine, and feature an exciting encounter with Black Bart, the most notorious train robber of his day.”
