Auction Preview Happy Hour

The Auction Preview Happy Hour is a fun, casual opportunity to gather with a wonderful group of wine and food enthusiasts and AWFF supporters! We'll talk about this year’s new format, provide some "How to do the Auction" tips, host a Q&A session, and show a sneak peek of the available auction lots! There will be approximately 55 lots at the Austin Wine Auction (tickets still available!) and an additional 15 or so lots at the Austin Wine & Food Foundation Gala. As with all our Happy Hour events, you are welcome to bring a bottle to share, and AWFF will provide light bites and will open some fun bottles from our inventory! We look forward to seeing you there! This event is free for guests of the Austin Wine & Food Foundation Auction & Gala Weekend. If you are attending the Auction or Gala, but haven’t received your invitation to the Happy Hour, please email [email protected] and we will gladly send it to you. If you are curious about the Auction but don't have your ticket yet, you're welcome to join us at this happy hour. Tickets are $20 and you can book here! This ticket is refundable if you buy a Wine Auction ticket afterwards.
