From one summer’s eve in 1980 until now, we have hosted wine events and auctions in the Nashville, TN area to raise money for the battle against cancer. What started with Un Eté du Vin, “A Summer of Wine,” has grown into a successful non-profit organization known as Nashville Wine Auction. Generosity of Spirit: The funds raised at our events are donated to non-profit organizations for cancer research, patient treatment and family support. Because we are passionate about our community, all of our proceeds stay in Tennessee. If you would love to partake in an evening of glamour, generosity, good cheer and great wine, consider one of our auction events:
July 30 - August 1, 2020
FEBRUARY 27 - 29, 2020
OCTOBER 3, 2019

A 100-point rating is a rarity in the world of wine critics. Any critic worth his or her salt wouldn’t stake their reputation on just any wine. It’s an honor for a producer, but even more so, it’s a gift to those fortunate enough to taste such a coveted bottle. And we’re going to open twenty two estimable bottles in one evening.
