A Toast to Community: Celebrating the 20th Annual Lehigh Valley Wine Auction

The 20th Annual Lehigh Valley Wine Auction brought our community together for an unforgettable celebration of generosity, fine wine, and a shared commitment to making a difference.

On Saturday, September 12, 2026, the streets of downtown Easton came alive as guests gathered for the 20th Annual Lehigh Valley Wine Auction, benefiting The Children’s Home of Easton and the Sigal Museum.

This milestone year marked two decades of bringing together community members, local businesses, sponsors, and supporters for a unique fundraising experience that celebrates the Lehigh Valley while supporting two longstanding nonprofit organizations.

An Evening of Wine, Food, and Giving Back

The 2026 Wine Auction featured an exciting evening of wine tastings, delicious food, entertainment, and opportunities to bid on unique auction items and experiences. Guests enjoyed the atmosphere of downtown Easton while connecting with friends, neighbors, and fellow supporters.

More than just a fundraising event, the Wine Auction is a celebration of what can be accomplished when a community comes together for a common purpose.

Proceeds from the event support the important missions of both beneficiary organizations. At The Children’s Home of Easton, this support helps provide a safe, nurturing environment and essential services for children, youth, and families facing difficult circumstances. From residential care and foster care services to independent living programs and behavioral health support, the organization works to create opportunities for brighter futures.

The Sigal Museum, operated by the Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society, preserves and shares the rich history and heritage of Northampton County, ensuring that local stories and traditions continue to inspire future generations.

Celebrating 20 Years of Community Support

Reaching the 20th anniversary of the Lehigh Valley Wine Auction is a remarkable milestone and a testament to the generosity of the businesses, individuals, volunteers, and community partners who have supported this event throughout the years.

The celebration began earlier in 2026 with the Lehigh Valley Wine Gala, held on April 18 at Saucon Valley Country Club, and continued with September’s signature Wine Auction in downtown Easton.

Together, these events represent a longstanding tradition of philanthropy, bringing people together through their appreciation of food, wine, and community.
