Enjoy and learn about wines from 25 top winemakers, while sampling food offerings from 30 local restaurants during the Grand Tasting inside the Nelson-Atkins. The Live Auction takes place under the big-top tent, where you will find a sensational atmosphere to raise your paddle high and often for spectacular auction lots. Immediately following the Live Auction, we continue to celebrate at After Dark with more wine, music, dancing, late night delectables, and desserts.
Savor what the best chefs and vintners have to offer, as 25 top wineries and 30 of Kansas City’s favorite restaurants provide the perfect mix of food, wine, and mingling amongst friends – all in the elegant setting of the Nelson-Atkins.
The exciting Live Auction offers valuable wine-themed items, unique gifts, and one-of-a-kind travel packages. Join other art lovers and wine enthusiasts in supporting the museum as a vital partner in the educational, social, and cultural life of Kansas City.
After the Live Auction, we’ll keep the celebration going in Bloch Lobby at After Dark. Enjoy delicious cocktails, choice wines, and sample more savory and sweet bites from local chefs. Dance it all off under the lights with our fabulous DJ. Access to After Dark is included in the Grand Tasting & Live Auction ticket price.
