Welcome to l’Eté du Vin, America’s oldest charity wine auction.


Since our inception in 1980, l’Eté du Vin has attracted individuals from around the world with big hearts and a love of wine to gather each summer in Nashville, Tennessee to experience and participate in l’Eté du Vin (“a summer of wine”). To date, thanks to the generosity and support of hundreds of donors, wine and food professionals, sponsors, businesses, volunteers and participants, l’Eté du Vin has raised and contributed over $15 million to our cancer related charitable beneficiaries.

Of course, our love of wine is matched only by our passion and dedication for our mission. We think there is no better way to support the fight against cancer than with a glass of wine in one hand, and a bidding paddle in the other!

So come join us in Nashville and see for yourself the magic, excitement and enthusiasm that makes l’Eté du Vin one of the most successful and enjoyable charity wine auctions and events in the United States.

Executive Director's Note:

First, let me once again say thank you to all of you for helping make this spring’s Premiere Events such a wonderful success! We appreciate all you generosity, commitment and participation as we continue our important mission and the fight against cancer.

We are honored and very excited to have all these ICONIC wine professionals join us in celebrating l’Eté du Vin’s thirtieth anniversary and help us continue our important mission.
