About Us

The V Foundation Wine Celebration is a world-class wine event and auction benefiting The V Foundation for Cancer Research. Set in Napa Valley, the heart of California Wine Country, this special event brings together people from the investment community, technology, sports entertainment, and winemaking worlds to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Dedicated to giving back to the generous Napa Valley and surrounding communities that have so enthusiastically embraced it, the V Wine Celebration has funded 34 promising research programs at medical and research facilities including the Cancer Center at St. Helena Hospital, Napa’s Queen of the Valley Wellness Center, Stanford, and UC San Francisco. Founded by Julie Allegro Constantin in 1999, the V Wine Celebration has grown from its humble beginnings to one of the top-rated charity wine auction events in the country. Guided by a dedicated volunteer board, and committed staff, the two-day signature fundraiser has raised over $39 million since that first event in 1999.

Friday festivities include exclusive wine experiences, followed by the perfect epicurean evening featuring renowned restaurateurs, chefs, and preeminent vintners and dancing the night away to a high-energy show band. Saturday offers a Cancer Research Symposium comprised of the nation’s leading physicians and research scientists from prominent universities and cancer centers. The auction gala dinner takes place Saturday evening, where guests enjoy a multi-course gourmet meal and wine pairings, live auction, and a private performance by an award winning artist. The weekend celebration concludes with a lively “After Hours” party.

Join us and be a part of this magical weekend as we raise critical funding for the fight against cancer.   The 14th Annual V Foundation Wine Celebration takes place in the beautiful Napa Valley, August 3-4, 2012.
