On Saturday, April 23rd, Destin Charity Wine Auction’s “live auction” took place, benefitting children in need in Northwest Florida.

The Live Auction was held under an air conditioned tent at Grand Boulevard Sandestin Town Center and featured distinctive wines from internationally acclaimed vintners, poured and paired with cuisine created by a selection of the area’s top local restaurants.

In their first live auction since 2019, a record-breaking $3.8 MILLION (and counting) was raised.

“What an incredible night of fundraising for children in need in Northwest Florida,” wrote DCWA. “Thank you everyone who joined us.”
