About
The 2024 Golden Vines® Auction will be open from 9am GMT, Sunday 6 October 2024 to 23.59pm CET Sunday, 27 October 2024 for all fine wine lovers globally.
All of the auction lots include principally large formats of the Grands Vins coming directly from the cellars of the most highly-regarded fine wine estates in the Northern & Southern Hemisphere, together with a ‘money can’t buy’ experience. The experiential element will typically include a private tour, tasting, and fine wine lunch or dinner with the owners and/or head winemaker of the estate for between 6 to 10 people. In some instances, it will also include a stay at the estate where they can accommodate guests.
Although many fine wine lovers and collectors can afford to buy the very best fine wines – although not always with impeccable provenance – it is impossible to buy an experience of being hosted by the owner and/or head winemaker at the estate itself.
The 2024 Golden Vines® Auction aims to raise over £1 million for the Gérard Basset Foundation to fund a range of global diversity-related education programmes in wine, spirits & hospitality, including the Taylor's Port Golden Vines® Diversity Scholarship, Internship & Mentorship Programmes, and other Golden Vines® diversity & inclusion-focused scholarship programmes.
