Our MissionDestin Charity Wine Auction Foundation’s mission is to connect wine enthusiasts to raise money to benefit children in need in Northwest Florida.
Founded in 2005, Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation has donated more than $10 Million to Northwest Florida charities through hosting world class wine and culinary events. These funds have impacted the lives of over 60,000 youth, including those afflicted by health issues and abuse. DCWAF is recognized as one of the nation’s ‘Top 10 Charity Wine Auction in the U.S.’ by Wine Spectator Magazine, ranked No. 4 in 2014, No. 6 in 2013, and No. 10 in 2012.
