The Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation (DCWAF), one of the nation’s premier philanthropic wine events, is celebrating a milestone year as it marks its 21st annual Destin Charity Wine Auction, presented by the Jumonville Family, April 24–25, 2026. Proceeds from the weekend benefit children in need across Northwest Florida through DCWAF’s 16 partner children’s charities. In 2025 alone, the foundation donated $3.1 million following one of its most successful auctions to date.
A limited number of patron packages are on sale now at dcwaf.org/tickets. Sponsorship opportunities are also available by contacting DCWAF at info@dcwaf.org.
