Women make up 60% of U.S wine consumers. So, slip on your favorite stilettos or some funky boots and join Master Shoemmeliers, Elaine Honig and Katie Hamilton Shaffer, for a playful wine education event using a metaphor women understand well – shoes!

Wine, Women & Shoes fundraisers create an opportunity for partnerships between charities, wineries, shoe and accessory retailers, corporate sponsors and women in the community. In addition to raising money, these events raise awareness for charities, increase sales for wineries and retail partners, and provide community outreach for corporate sponsors.

Funds are raised through ticket sales, silent and live auction lots, raffles, shoes sales and sponsorships.  To date, WW&S has raised over $4,000,000 for its charity partners.

Charities generally produce one or more of the following event concepts. Because each organization’s needs are different, WW&S can customize these concepts based on each charity's needs:
