In 2019, we will be featuring guest wineries from Southern Oregon at Cork & Barrel.

According to southernoregonwines.org, “Southern Oregon’s latitude and prevailing oceanic winds create a 7-month European-like growing season that distinguishes it from all other west coast (and American) growing regions and this uniquely defines, identifies and unifies us as an ideal place to grow wine grapes.”

Don’t miss the chance to mix and mingle with winemakers from the visiting region and experience the essence of all that Southern Oregon has to offer.

Be the winning bidder at our fun and exciting silent auction. Packages include spectacular dining, inspiring adventures and outdoor experiences, unique jewelry, sports galore and, of course, great wine! What will you take home?

Stay tuned for 2019 auction items! In the mean time, check out auction catalogs from previous years here.

These exclusive experiences, limited to 40 people, are only $100 per seat. Purchase your party board seats live at Cork & Barrel events, or to pre-buy your seat online. For more information contact Ginger at gtstevens@kidscenter.org
