The event that put the Auction on the list of the Top 5 Wine Charity Auctions in the U.S. is offering a variety of ways for you to participate in our 34th annual Gala.

READY TO VENURE OUT?
For the safety and enjoyment of our guests, we are offering three “mini-Galas”, held in person at Chateau Ste Michelle, Maryhill Winery and The Winemakers Reserve. Each mini-Gala will include a seated dinner, participation in the virtual Gala, and a few surprises!

FROM THE COMFORT OF HOME
Tune into the virtual Gala from wherever you are to participate in live bidding. Make a night of it and gather a few friends to host a watch party. Want to make it extra special? Invite one of our generous chef partners to prepare a private meal for you and guests in your home.

Whichever way you choose to participate, we are grateful for your generosity, benefiting Washington State University Viticulture & Enology, Seattle Children’s, and the Auction of Washington Wines Industry Grant Program.

Join us at one of three in-person Mini-Galas

These mini-Galas bring you the excitement of the live Gala at a more intimate scale. Each location offers a pre-event reception, a wine tasting bar, and a multi-course seated dinner paired with select Washington wines.

The live auction and raise the paddle will take place at Chateau Ste. Michelle (SOLD OUT!) and be broadcast to the other mini-gala locations where patrons will be joining the bidding virtually via their phones. Chateau Ste. Michelle guests will be a part of the live auction and through the magic of technology, the additional locations will be connected to enjoy the evening’s entertainment, special guests, and to bid on one-of-a-kind auction lots.

Commemorate the moment!

Acclaimed winemaker and AWW 2021 Honorary Vintner, Marie-Eve Gilla of Valdemar Estates, has provided the wine for an AWW annual tradition, the Commemorative Magnum. There is nothing more festive than a large-format bottle, especially when it is filled with Cabernet Sauvignon from V square vineyard, located in SeVein. The vineyard faces north east which allows for slower ripening resulting in extremely dense and well-structured wine, with 20% of Petit Verdot added to contribute lusciousness to the middle mouth.

Whether this is your first AWW Commemorative Magnum, or you are adding to your multi-year vertical collection, we invite you to support AWW and enjoy!
