The Lake County Wine Auction is the charitable arm of the Lake County wine industry in the form of a partnership between Lake County wineries, grape growers, related businesses and individuals. Formed in 2000, the Lake County Wine Alliance is operated under the guidance of a six-member volunteer board of directors with the purpose of supporting charitable and other local programs in the arts, health and community. Since its inception, the Lake County Wine Alliance has contributed over $2 million to worthy programs in Lake County, donating more funds to local charities from a single event than any other local nonprofit organization. The Lake County Wine Alliance is also dedicated to promoting Lake County as a premier wine grape growing region and to promoting the region’s celebrated wines.  This year Jennifer Strong will emcee the event and Brian Rose will be the auctioneer. Our special guest will be Congressman Mike Thompson. Event Website

A Message from our CEO, Eric Lewis: This year has been incredibly challenging, and I know each of you has been impacted in some way by the wildfires, the pandemic, and the loss of business due to the shutdown. This has raised the stakes for our industry, and have made clear the importance of checking in with and supporting our communities. Accordingly, the mission of Wineshipping remains the same, and that is to enable your success. Our focus is 100% on you. Here at Wineshipping we've identified some additional ways that we can support our community during these difficult times. If your home or business was damaged by the fires, please let us know so we can support you directly. If anyone you know is looking for temporary employment, reach out to our staffing team at careers@wineshipping.com (we have plenty of work as we head into peak!) If you need temporary storage of your product, we will do what we can to support you with transportation and warehousing. Finally
