CARPE VINUM! 

A 40-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE of the SUN VALLEY WINE AUCTION. 

As the story goes, in 1981 Glenn Janss visited Auction Napa Valley and decided “we could do that here” in Sun Valley to support the then-fledgling arts center. She invited vintner friends and guests, and they auctioned off some bottles and had a great time trading wine in support of the arts. Thousands of vintners have since joined Sun Valley Museum of Art on this journey.

Much has changed over time but the exceptional and generous participation of wineries has not. We are thrilled and honored to have such an outstanding line-up of participating vintners joining us in our efforts. Some vintners have been part of the Wine Auction since its inception, such as Schramsberg, Trefethen and Far Niente. Others represent a new generation of winemaking families. The Wine Auction Committee selects a diverse group of vintners to participate each year. There are always new people to meet and tastes to discover. You can expect to be inspired and entertained in new ways every year.

The locals know that Sun Valley, Idaho, is a community built on camaraderie and meaningful friendships. The Sun Valley Wine Auction shares those same qualities. Lasting relationships are formed here between patrons and vintners. We take pride in being a world-class event with an intimate feel. And we welcome all of our guests with open arms.

À votre santé!
