Raise a Glass. Change a Life.
Wine D’Vine is the event of the season—an unforgettable evening where fine wine, extraordinary cuisine, and heartfelt purpose come together under the stars. Hosted at the stunning Solana Beach home of renowned chef Jeffrey Strauss, this highly anticipated coastal celebration brings together community leaders, philanthropists, and friends of Walden Family Services for one magical night benefiting foster youth across Southern California.
Guests will indulge in exceptional food and curated wines while enjoying an intimate and elegant atmosphere unlike any other event of the year. But beyond the beauty of the evening lies something even more meaningful: every ticket, sponsorship, and toast helps provide foster youth with the housing, support, education, and life skills they need to build brighter, more independent futures.
From premium seating and exclusive sponsor recognition to inspiring stories and unforgettable moments, Wine D’Vine offers a truly special experience with lasting impact. Seats are limited, excitement is building, and this is one celebration you absolutely do not want to miss.
Join us for an unforgettable night of flavor, connection, and purpose—and help change lives one glass at a time.
