About This Event
Auction Napa Valley is the most prestigious wine auction in the world, bringing together collectors, winemakers, and philanthropists for four days of extraordinary experiences. Held annually in June at Meadowood Napa Valley, the event features intimate barrel tastings at top estates, multi-course winemaker dinners, and a live auction where rare lots raise millions for local healthcare and education nonprofits. Since 1981, Auction Napa Valley has raised over $200 million for community causes. Guests gain exclusive access to wineries not typically open to the public, including private cave dinners, library wine tastings, and behind-the-scenes vineyard experiences across Oakville, Rutherford, and St. Helena.
