The Nashville Wine Auction unites the wine community through world-class fundraising events that fund the fight against cancer. Our events are lively, fun and educational, fostering an environment of spontaneous and generous giving by those who love and appreciate wine. Toward that end, Nashville Wine Auction cultivates participation by the domestic and international wine communities who understand our respect for the wine, national and local businesses, hospitality professionals, restaurants, chefs and members of the entertainment industry, as well as individuals united in the common goal of winning the battle against cancer. Since its inception in 1980, Nashville Wine Auction has raised more than $33 million for organizations whose purpose is directly related to cancer research, innovative patient treatment, and caregiver/patient support.
