WINE COMMUNITY TO HELP FUND FIGHT AGAINST CANCER OVER THREE EVENING OF FUN-FILLED WINE EVENTS


The Nashville Wine Auction will host the 44th Annual l’Eté du Vin on July 27-29, 2023, at JW Marriott. The 2023 l’Eté du Vin guest of honor is Château Léoville Barton and Barton Family Wines with honored guest Damien Barton Sartorius. This three-day series of events will have something for wine lovers of various experience levels featuring: The Vintners’ Tasting on July 27, The Patrons’ Dinner on July 28, and the 44th Annual l’Eté du Vin Live Auction on July 29.

Proceeds from l’Eté du Vin, the country’s longest running charity wine auction, help fund the fight against cancer by supporting thirteen local non-profit organizations whose purpose is directly related to cancer research, innovative patient treatment, and caregiver/patient support.

President and CEO of the Nashville Wine Auction, Loren Chumley says, “This weekend has unique and elevated experiences for the wine lovers in our community. Our guests can expect fantastic wines to be poured by our Guest of Honor and by each of our featured vintners. We are very grateful for their support in helping us fund the fight against cancer.”


Damien Barton Sartorius, Owner and General Manager of Barton Family Wines, will be joining us as our honored guest for all three evenings of l’Eté du Vin.

This year’s event chairs are Rob Turner and Jay Jones.
