Welcome to the first-annual auction of wines and experiences sold to benefit the Roots Fund!
With lots donated by world-renowned estates and wineries from Burgundy to Champagne to the Napa Valley, proceeds from the sale will benefit The Roots Fund, launched in 2020 to address the lack of diversity in the wine industry, specifically amongst BIPOC populations.
These charity auctions will showcase rare wines and unique experiences from the most sought-after growers from Burgundy including Dujac, Drouhin, Duroché, de Montille, Thibault Liger-Belair and Comtes Lafon, as well as the most prestigious wineries from the Napa Valley including Heitz Cellars, Inglenook, Silver Oak, and Robert Mondavi, to name a few.
The distinctive wine experiences will include celebrated tours through a range of premier wine regions all around the world from Saint-Tropez and Burgundy to Napa, Paso Robles and Lodi to South America. A “Rooted in France'' wine experience hosted in Burgundy will feature the top Domaines of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, while an exclusive Hampton Water Rosé package comes with an autographed guitar from Jon Bon Jovi.
