Thank you to all who attended the 2020 Napa Valley Barrel Auction
The Collective Napa Valley Barrel Auction Weekend is not just about the wine auction. It is a summer celebration with a live event weekend that includes everything you’d expect from only-in-Napa Valley hospitality: vintner-hosted wine events and experiences, wines to taste straight from the barrel, delicious food from local restaurants and so much more, including a grand celebration to recognize our non-profit partners.
For 2022, the Barrel Auction Weekend begins with Private Winery-hosted Events on Thursday, continues Friday morning with Vineyard Walks and Wine Talks and then the Barrel Auction Friday afternoon, the Napa Valley Vine Trail Walk and Ride on Saturday morning and finally concluding with the Napa Valley Community Celebration on Saturday afternoon at the Yountville Veterans Memorial Park
