If you, like thousands of others, enjoy the Manhattan Wine Auction, it's time to set yourself a special alarm because the Wine Auction tickets go on sale tomorrow morning, May 1, at 6:00 a.m.

Tickets to the Manhattan Wine Auction, the largest fundraiser of the year for the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation (MBEF), sell out almost immediately every year. 

This year's event will be held on Saturday, June 10. Ticket prices begin at $325 per person.

Hosted at the Manhattan Country Club, the Manhattan Wine Auction brings the community together to sip wines and other beverages, sample bites from local restaurants, bid on live and silent auctions, raise their paddles for education, and dance under the stars.

First introduced in 1995, the Manhattan Wine Auction is now the largest charity wine auction in Southern California. Nearly 2,000 guests attend each year.

Entrance to the Manhattan Wine Auction is available through General Admission tickets, Reserve Room tickets, or Center Court table seats and sponsorships.

Proceeds from the Manhattan Wine Auction benefit the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation Endowment.

Last year's event raised $1.3 million, including a "paddle raise" for STEM programs that brought in $225,000.
