The Manhattan Wine Auction, now in its 31st year, raises funds for the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation and its Endowment Fund.
Over time, it has become one of the most prestigious fundraising events
in Southern California.
Individual tickets
start at $350 per person for the main event and $550 per person for "Reserve Room"
tickets. Tables for the Center Court (full dinner experience) begin at
$8,500 and go up to $28,000.

event brings together more than 2,500 residents from the South Bay and
beyond. Featured offerings include tastings from 75 distinguished
wineries, distilleries and breweries; and samplings from 50
local restaurants and specialty food purveyors.
Other
attractions include the exclusive Reserve Room, featuring cult and rare
wines from Napa Valley and beyond; and the silent and live auctions,
including fine and collectible wines and
spirits, luxury trips, one-of-a-kind dinners and experiences, jewelry, art, and sports memorabilia. Following the live auction, the event concludes with dancing under the stars to live music.
