The 2023 Premiere Napa Valley Auction brought in $3.4M.
The funds were generated through both live and online auctions.
- 2023 marked the 27th year of the auction.
- The bidding period opened on Feb. 10 and closed on Feb. 25.
- This year’s auction catalog contained one-of-a-kind, limited-edition bottles produced exclusively by Napa Valley winemakers.
- More than 150 wine lots were crafted specifically for the event, most of which were sourced from the 2021 vintage.
- Droughts caused by the 2020 wildfires surprisingly positively affected the wines, which were described by winemakers and buyers as “fresh” and “concentrated.”
- The $3.4M will fund programs to protect, enhance, and promote Napa Valley.
