As we prepare to celebrate the V Foundation’s 25th anniversary of fighting cancer with wine, they invite you to save the date for the upcoming event from August 3rd to 6th, 2023. The Wine Celebration is a three-day extravaganza set in the picturesque Napa Valley, Northern California, with the mission of raising funds for cancer research. This year’s event is marked with a sense of pride and accomplishment, looking back at all the foundation has achieved and forward to the many milestones they hope to hit in the future.
Join V Foundation for intimate winery experiences, complete with some of the finest vintages. Attendees have access to private cellar tours, barrel tastings, and Q & A sessions with winemakers, who are passionate about sharing their craft and experiences. Learn about the terroir, soil, grape varietals, and the stories behind each bottle. You’ll leave Napa Valley with a newfound appreciation for wine, and how it has the power to bring people together for a good cause.
Gourmet meal and wine pairings will be an integral part of the celebration, and you’ll get to savor delectable dishes served at the region’s best restaurants. Each event is carefully curated to match the flavor profile and notes of the wine, making every bite a symphony for the senses. You’ll have an opportunity to meet and mingle with other like-minded cancer fighting advocates.
The heartbeat of the Wine Celebration is the auction, where attendees can bid on some of the rarest wines, travel experiences, art, and memorabilia. The proceeds from each auction item go directly towards the V Foundation’s mission to find a cure for cancer. There will also be opportunities for charitable giving with bids that will fund research, scholarships, and more.
The Wine Celebration is not all about wine and parties. The cancer research symposium is an event where researchers, scientists, and clinicians gather to share panels and talks to raise awareness and funds for the ongoing battle on cancer. This event gives attendees a chance to hear about significant developments and research that could lead to breakthroughs in cancer treatment options and therapies.
The Wine Celebration culminates with an exclusive private performance by an award-winning artist in a magnificent setting. It’s the perfect way to cap off the weekend, inspiring hope and motivation towards our shared goal. It’s a brilliant time to connect, make new friends, and build lifelong camaraderie.
The V Foundation, has made remarkable progress over the past quarter of a century. However, there’s still a lot of ground to cover, and they believe that there’s no better way to do it than with the collective power of supporters like you, who are invested in this mission. Come and join us in Napa Valley in August, get involved, make a difference, and celebrate life with the best wine and cuisine. We look forward to seeing you there! Cheers!
