The event is hosted annually the last full weekend of April. If you were unable to secure seats for this year’s event, we hope you will mark your calendar and join us in 2024. 

The 18th Annual Destin Charity Wine Auction presented by the Jumonville Family benefits children in need in Northwest Florida. The sell-out weekend kicks off with Patron Dinners hosted in private homes and restaurants along the Emerald Coast. Each of the dinners supports one of DCWAF’s benefiting charities.

The Destin Charity Wine Auction is the main event of the weekend, hosted on Saturday, April 29. The Reserve Tasting and Live Auction are held under an air conditioned tent at Grand Boulevard Sandestin Town Center. The event will feature distinctive wines from internationally acclaimed vintners, poured and paired with cuisine created by a selection of the area’s top local restaurants.

The Reserve Tasting is accompanied by a silent auction with some super silent offerings featuring wine, autographed large format bottles, art, and more. The event culminates with a high-energy live auction, which includes rare and distinctive wines, spectacular trips, and other incredible one-of-a-kind items. The Destin Charity Auction is hosted each year in conjunction with the South Walton Beaches Wine and Food Festival, which also takes place in Grand Boulevard Sandestin Town Center the same weekend.
