Grape for Good

Thank you to all our guests, donors, partners and volunteers that made this fundraiser such a success! We were able to raise almost $50K for our neighbors in Kerr County in just a few weeks! The Austin industry community rallied and we couldn't have done it without your support. 

THANK YOU!

 

Join us for an unforgettable evening as over 30 of Austin’s top wine professionals and sommeliers come together to pour wines they are truly passionate about—all in support of Kerr County flood relief efforts.

Each guest will have the chance to sample a curated selection of wines, hear the stories behind them, and enjoy a meaningful night of connection, generosity, and community spirit.

 

Proceeds will benefit: 

Kerr County Flood Relief Fund via Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country 

with 100% of donations managed through ATX Somms, a 501(c)(3).

 

Silent Auction

In addition to wine tasting, we’ll feature exclusive wine lots, culinary experiences, and more—offering even more ways to give back.
