Unforgettable Weekend of Wine and Philanthropy at Auction Napa Valley 2026 - Worth the Trip
Various Locations in Napa Valley
In Saint Helena, CA, Napa Valley’s wine community gathered to celebrate Auction Napa Valley 2025 and kick off planning for 2026, marking the ceremonial “passing of the paddle” as Robin and Michelle Baggett of Alpha Omega Winery handed chairing duties to Darioush, Shahpar, and Sally Khaledi of Darioush Winery. The event took place at Meadowood Napa Valley, the auction’s longtime home. Darioush Khaledi shared, “It’s an incredible honor to serve as chairs of Auction Napa Valley 2026. We’re inspired by the spirit of generosity that defines this event and look forward to making a meaningful difference in the lives of Napa Valley’s youth.” Auction Napa Valley, set for June 5–6, 2026, brings together world-class wine, food, and fellowship—truly an experience worth the trip. Proceeds support NVV’s Youth Wellness Initiative, funding school wellness programs, mental health services, after-school enrichment, and summer learning. Since 1981, the auction has invested $245 million in the community. Tickets go on sale in January 2026, following the Fine Wine & Experiences online auction in October 2025.
