The
most unique event hosted by The Foundation each year is The Rare & Fine
Wine Auction. Held at the stunning Four Seasons Hotel, the auction
attracts wine enthusiasts throughout the state who are eager to bid
on over 300 auction lots, such as wines from private cellars, dinners,
trips and items from around the world.
Rare
collectibles of Old World classics such as 1st Growth Bordeaux,
Grand Cru Burgundy, Vintage Port and legendary Italians are offered
up with New World luminaries like California Cult classics, top Oregon
Pinot Noir, luscious Washington and Australian reds as well as the
best Texas has to offer. Wine tour vacations to Europe and North
America will be featured, as well as spectacular wine tastings and
gourmet wine dinners hosted in the state’s best private cellars
and most exciting restaurants.
Auction
proceeds benefit KLRU-TV Public Television and The Wine & Food
Foundation of Texas’ mission to inspire excellence and education
in the culinary and viticulture arts through scholarships, grants
and the development of educational programs and projects. Since its
inception 24 years ago, the Auction has raised millions of dollars
towards these goals. In 2005, the Foundation launched its $25,000
Grant Awards Program for innovative and educational projects in wine
and food within Texas and continues this program annually.
