Estimated $15.5 million raised at Auction Napa Valley with Francis Ford Coppola as guest chef
Jun 4, 2017
(PD) - The Coppola Family, assisted by a supporting cast of vintners, chefs and volunteers, drew an audience of 950 to the grassy fairway at Meadowood Resort in St. Helena Saturday to raise money for the Napa Valley community during the 37th annual Auction Napa Valley.
Temperatures in the mid-80s greeted guests in mid-afternoon as they gathered under a tent to preview the 36 premium auction lots that ranged from wine and food experiences to global travel and arts adventures.
The auction is the headline fundraiser in a weeklong event put on by the Napa Valley Vintners to benefit local nonprofits serving community health and children’s education.
The bidding kicked off at 4:30 p.m. under an air-conditioned white tent with crystal chandeliers and spotlights, as auctioneer Fritz Hatton ramped up the excitement for the first lot, a food and wine trip donated by the Coppolas that spanned their historic winery, Inglenook in Rutherford, and a trip to Italy at the Coppolas’ boutique hotel, Palazzo Margherita.
