Celebrating 35 years in 2019, Classic Wines Auction is one of the longest-running charity wine auctions in the U.S., ranking in the Top 10 of U.S. Charity Wine Auctions by Wine Spectator Magazine.

​Since the organization’s inception in 1982, Classic Wines Auction has raised more than $46 million for local nonprofits and benefited more than one million individuals in the community. The 2019 Classic Wines Auction benefits the following nonprofit organizations: Metropolitan Family Service (MFS), New Avenues for Youth, Friends of the Children, YWCA Clark County, and the Unity Center for Behavioral Health.
