Sun Valley Wine Auction

The Sun Valley Wine Auction is one of the most prestigious philanthropic wine events in the country, celebrating its 44th year in 2025. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Idaho’s Sun Valley region, this three-day, invitation-only event draws an elite crowd of art collectors, wine connoisseurs, philanthropists, and cultural patrons from across the U.S.

Hosted by the Sun Valley Museum of Art, the event is anchored by a dazzling lineup of high-touch, curated experiences, including the River Ranch Wine Walk, intimate Vintner Dinners, exclusive Art Talks, and the centerpiece: the Art + Wine Gala and Live Auction. Guests mingle with vintners from over 50 top-tier wineries, enjoy culinary pairings from celebrated chefs, and bid on rare wines, bespoke travel experiences, and one-of-a-kind art.

Beyond its indulgent appeal, the Wine Auction is a powerful fundraiser, generating over $1 million annually to support arts education and community programming across the Wood River Valley. Sponsors gain exposure to a refined, ultra-affluent audience in an immersive, luxurious environment that fosters genuine relationship building and brand storytelling.

From its deep cultural purpose to its unmatched setting and clientele, the Sun Valley Wine Auction is a must-attend summer experience — and a rare opportunity for brands to activate meaningfully with high-net-worth individuals who are passionate about the arts, community, and fine living.
