June 24 - June 26
Sun Valley Wine Auction
A celebration of wine, a benefit for the arts.
The 44th Annual Sun Valley Wine Auction will be held June 24 – 26, 2025.
Founded in 1981, the Sun Valley Wine Auction began as an intimate fundraising event for an emerging arts organization that eventually became the Sun Valley Museum of Art. Consistently ranking in Wine Spectator’s annual Top 10 Charity Wine Auctions, the festival brings together both small and large and always distinguished vintners, celebrity chefs, and wine lovers for a celebration of wine, food, friendship all in support of the arts. Proceeds from the Auction provide significant funding for the Museum’s exhibitions and educational programs. The Wine Auction fuels SVMoA’s free year-round arts integration programs so that they can reach 4,000 student participants in the Wood River Valley. It also supports the Museum’s annual Scholarship Program, which, since its inception, has awarded more than $1,000,000 to continued arts education.
