Auction Napa Valley

Auction Napa Valley is the world’s most prestigious charity wine event, where luxury, legacy, and generosity blend as seamlessly as the region’s finest Cabernets. Hosted by Napa Valley Vintners, this exclusive weekend transforms California’s wine country into a playground for the elite, pairing record-breaking auctions and Michelin-starred dinners with a powerful philanthropic mission that supports local healthcare, education, and housing initiatives.

Guests will experience three days of curated indulgence at Meadowood Napa Valley and across the region’s most iconic wineries. The weekend features intimate vintner dinners, a legendary live auction under the oaks, and star-studded soirées where business, culture, and generosity converge.

The Vintner Dinners on Friday set the tone with five-course meals paired with rare vintages from estates like Opus One, Harlan, and Screaming Eagle, offering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to blend your own wine or dine with world-renowned winemakers. Saturday’s Live Auction Under the Oaks is the centerpiece, where bidders compete for extraordinary lots—private concerts by global artists, vineyard buyouts, 100-year verticals, and custom vintages—with totals reaching $25 million in a single afternoon. The celebration continues Sunday with poolside recovery parties at Meadowood, complete with DJ sets, Champagne showers, and Napa-style revelry.

The event attracts an extraordinary guest list of CEOs, collectors, and cultural icons, including Jay-Z, Jeff Bezos, and Yao Ming, creating a uniquely high-profile environment that blends decadence and purpose. Since 1981, Auction Napa Valley has raised more than $230 million for the local community, making it not only a benchmark in wine philanthropy but also a global symbol of luxury with purpose.
