The Main Attraction
For 30 years, the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction has brought the best winemakers and vintners to Atlanta to share their marvelous wines. Each and every year, we invite old friends and introduce fabulous discoveries to add to your collection. More important than the wine, is the connection we forge with our vintner friends and our valued guests.
For 30 years, the standout chefs from Atlanta and around the country have cooked luscious lunches, graced kitchens in Atlanta homes, and provided gourmet meals in the tents. They are rock stars, and their talent never ceases to amaze.For 30 years, we have gathered with our friends to drink the finest wine, share stories and laughter, and raise a glass to those who are no longer with us.
And for 30 years, our beloved Benefactors have generously provided funds for the High Museum of Art through the purchase of Benefactor packages, auction lots, and paddle raise donations to ensure that the Museum remains the most sparkling gem in Atlanta.
Please join us in March to continue the celebrationas the legend continues!
