The barrel auction is a great way to taste the future of Napa Valley wines

.
Taste from over 100 different wines drawn straight from the barrel.

Each new bid is posted on the large board and literally knocks the lowest bid off the board and out of play. Each bid listed on the board is a successful bidder.

Celebrate your winning lots when the bidding ends at 4:00pm that same day!

• Each winery offers 10 one-case lots.

• Each bid in the barrel auction is for twelve 750 ml bottles (one case of wine)

• To place a bid, visit the volunteers in the barrel auction area. They will write your bidder number and bid amount for one case of wine on a small bid board. You will be asked to sign in to verify your bid.
