Chandon got Auction Napa Valley started off with a bang in a big bash at the winery.

Over 450 Club Chandon members and Auction Napa Valley attendees celebrated the start of the largest wine auction in the country while dancing to the music of San Francisco’s DJ Dukes and nibbling on small treats from etoile Restaurant.

Since its inception in 1981, the annual Auction Napa Valley has raised over $77 million for charities in the Napa community. Domaine Chandon contributed just over $126,000 to the total of $10.35 million that was raised this year.
