Wine Women & Shoes supports Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Piedmont Triad, helping families stay close to their children during medical treatment.

When a child is hospitalized, families shouldn’t have to worry about where they’ll sleep or how they’ll afford meals. Proceeds from this event help provide housing, meals, and comfort to families when they need it most.

A night of celebration becomes real support for families facing their hardest days.

Why should I save my credit card when I register?

We recommend saving your credit card when you register. This makes check-in faster and allows you to easily participate in activities like wine purchases, raffles, and auctions during the event.

Saving your card does not automatically register you for the silent auction.

How do I bid in the silent auction?

To bid, you must register as a bidder. This is separate from buying your ticket. You’ll receive a text and email invitation to sign up:

After you purchase your ticket.
Again when you check in at the event

You can bid online before the event and during the evening. Bidding will open on April 16th. There are no paper bid sheets at the event, online bidding is necessary to participate.

What is different about a VIP ticket?

VIPs enjoy exclusive early access to the marketplace and wine tastings before general admission doors open, making it the perfect option for those who love first dibs on wine, shopping, and special experiences.

How do I earn complimentary champagne for my group?

Friends are encouraged to reserve 10 tickets as a group and when they do, their group will be seated together at a reserved table and treated to a complimentary bottle of champagne. You may choose to purchase a table for 10 upfront and invite your friends as guests. Or, your friends can purchase their tickets individually and enter the same Group Name (example: “Susie’s Sippers”) when they register.

This benefit is available for both General Admission and VIP tickets – even mix and match!

What’s the dress code?

Dressy business to cocktail attire is recommended. And don’t forget your shoes! Our Best in Shoe Contest includes three categories:

Heels
Flats
Bedazzled (unique, bold, or creative styles)

Judges will be roaming the event and inviting finalists to participate.
