Premiere Napa Valley is an auction of one-of-a-kind wines offered as futures to members of the wine trade each February. Since 1997, winemakers across Napa Valley have contributed lots of 240, 120 or as few as 60 bottles of unique wine, wines that express the soils, microclimates and remarkable personalities that make up the Napa Valley. Each lot is sold to a single member of the wine trade who then offers it to his or her top clients and collectors.
This year, Premiere Napa Valley will culminate with the live-streamed auction on Saturday, February 24 in St. Helena, California, with virtual and in-person events taking place in the days and weeks leading up to the auction. Beyond being an auction, Premiere Napa Valley is an opportunity to connect with Napa Valley’s leading winemakers, learn about the region, discover new vintages and ultimately to reconnect with the region.
