Since 1981, the Napa Valley community has been hosting a wine auction to support local philanthropic programs. The event, which was initially organized by winemakers and vendors in the region, has grown tremendously over the years, attracting participants from all around the world.
As Chairman of Napa Valley Vintners, Donna Walker emphasized the community’s commitment to giving back to their beloved region. The auction not only raises funds for important programs but also fosters a sense of belonging among its members.
One of the current focuses of the auction is on student mental health in Napa Valley. With many students struggling with mental health issues, there is a great need for services in local schools. The goal is to ensure that every student who needs mental health support can access it at no cost within their school environment.
The success of the event relies on the contributions of donors and volunteers who embrace the mission of supporting the community’s growth. Local winemakers, chefs, and volunteers all play integral roles in creating an unforgettable experience for attendees while celebrating generosity and camaraderie.
