Every June, Napa Valley’s most celebrated winemakers gather for one extraordinary weekend of wine, community and philanthropy. Presented by Sotheby’s and Napa Valley Vintners, the Napa Valley Barrel Auction offers collectors and enthusiasts the rare opportunity to taste wines directly from the barrel — often guided by the winemakers themselves — before the vintages are officially released.
From conversations about terroir and experimentation to unforgettable food, hospitality and charity auctions, this annual event captures the collaborative spirit that defines Napa Valley. With proceeds supporting Napa Valley youth wellness initiatives, the weekend brings together more than 100 producers, iconic restaurants and once-in-a-lifetime experiences — all in celebration of the region’s culture, innovation and generosity.
