Pat Summers lived in the all-encompassing world of PR and Events for 25 years, from 1985 through 2010. She and her team conceived, created, produced and promoted food, wine and art events such as Sonoma Salute to the Arts and the Napa Valley Mustard Festival. Her whirl wind days consisted of creating enticing promotions and print, press kits, named by journalists and clients as the best on the business, finding and nurturing sponsors, designing events that sprang to life after months of planning. Visitors were immersed in living art as they indulged in food and wine. Multi-dimensional, presented food and wine in settings vibrant with music and living art, the events introduced guests to the beauty and bounty of the agricultural countryside and warmth of wine country hospitality, seducing them into partaking of all the wine country had to offer and to returning time and time again.

Sponsors including Visa USA and later, American Express, contracted with Pat's company for wine country promotions. The crushing recession of 2007 – 2009 took its toll as sponsors reluctantly pulled out – although attendance at some events increased. In 2008 vacation rentals were on the rise, and Pat and her late husband, Dave, launched Inn Wine Country. A rental house, behind their offices and across the creek, accessed by a bridge, and within walking distance of historic Sonoma Plaza, presented them with a perfect opportunity. As the PR and Event business struggled, their new hospitality business was born and thrived. Pat transitioned from destination promotion to hospitality hosting.

Pat is a hands on, attentive, and responsive host. She takes great pride in Summers House and is available to assist at a moment's notice.
