Sun Valley Wine Auction
Best for
Held each June in Ketchum/Sun Valley, this 44-year-old charity auction benefits the Sun Valley Museum of Art and combines world-class wine with Idaho's spectacular mountain scenery. Three days of events include whitewater rafting wine-tastings (Paddle & Pour), a golf scramble (Sip & Swing), a National Geographic photographer portrait session, and a gala dinner with live auction of fine wines and art. Vintners from Napa, Sonoma, and beyond pour alongside Idaho producers, creating an art-meets-wine mountain escape.
