Fundraising Packages for Wine Lovers

Our nonprofits tell us that many of their donors enjoy the finer things in life: Good food, delicious wine, and the incredible settings that often come with them. We have an entire page dedicated to culinary packages, and in today’s blog post, we’re going to highlight some of our most-loved (and best-selling!) packages that feature wine. 

Warning: Your mouth may start watering as you read!

Tuscany in Your Cellar (36 Bottles!)

This package is absolutely ideal for those donors who are looking to expand or start their personal wine collection. Each of these high-end wines comes with descriptive notes, and the package also includes the opportunity to meet the sommelier through a private Zoom meeting where he will present the collection and walk donors through the special aspects of each bottle. 

All the wines in the collection are from boutique wineries, labels, and vintages in Tuscany, and are very difficult to find outside Italy. Find specific details on each of the 12 labels (including nine reds, two whites, and one rose) on the website. READ MORE.

Tuscany, Villa Magnolia Wine and Culinary Package

And speaking of Tuscany… why not send your donors directly to the source!? This package for eight people is a delightful experience that will send the whole group on a Montepulciano or Cortona wine tour, including a tasting and lunch! The group will spend seven nights in Villa Magnolia, a dwelling that dates back to the nineteenth century and features a sparkling pool, lush garden, fully-equipped kitchen and luxurious inner spaces. 

Nestled in the countryside surrounding the ancient Etruscan town of Cortona, this area has always been considered one of the most beautiful hamlets in Italy. Travelers will revel in ample opportunities to learn about the rich history of the region and delve into unforgettable Italian wine and food! READ MORE.

Sipping Bordeaux France Vacation Package

With all this talk about European wines, we cannot forget about France! Considered second only to Paris in terms of beauty and elegance, Bordeaux has for years been a key destination for all who are interested in French culture, lifestyle, food and of course, wine. Send four of your donors to the Bordeaux city center, the heart of a legendary wine growing region, where the vibrance and sophistication will inspire even the most world-weary traveler! 

Donors will enjoy a day-long private wine tour in Saint Emilion (lunch and transportation included), plus a private bike tour of Bordeaux, one of the most bike-friendly cities in France. This location is the ideal starting point to explore nearby wine regions such as Medoc, St. Emilion, Pessac-Leognan, and Sauternes. There’s just nothing like it. READ MORE.
