Philanthropy

We are committed to supporting charitable causes and organizations through hosting events, charitable auction items, wine sponsorships, and actively engaging with the community.

Helping to Repair the World

We are a small and growing company, but nevertheless, feel fortunate to be in a position to leverage our resources including our space, wine, human capital, and energy for philanthropy. Since we opened in 2008, we have consistently donated 10% of our wine production every year to a variety of causes.

Wine Barrel Fundraiser

We all receive so many requests to help out good causes, often through donations to their auction events. City Winery has created a unique, fun and rewarding program that enables our investors and barrel owners to make a significant contribution, at no cost to themselves or the organization of their choice.

The non-profit organization helps arrange for a Celebrity, Chef, Musician, key person associated with the charity, etc., to endorse a barrel of wine, and to sign custom wine labels.
