The Pavilion Partners' 2027
Wine Dinner & Auction
An unforgettable evening on The Pavilion’s Main Stage, bringing our community together in support of the next generation of artists.
A note from the committee
We hope you’ll join us.
Dear friends,
We invite you to join us Sunday, March 7, 2027, on The Pavilion’s Main Stage to enjoy The Pavilion Partners Wine Dinner and Auction, honoring Aven and Tracey McBride. This event continues the tradition of our community coming together to support The Pavilion's powerful arts access programs.
It's also the most exclusive ticket in town - where else can you dine on the same stage that has hosted Elton John, Tom Petty and Post Malone while drinking free-flowing Komes Estate wine bottled just for this event?
It's going to be a very big night - we would be delighted to have you with us.

Charlie & Sonya with CEO & President Jeff Young
Live performance. Remarkable dining. Free-flowing wine.
An exclusive experience
The Main Stage becomes your table.
For one night, the stage transforms into an intimate dining room beneath The Pavilion’s canopy. Guests enjoy exceptional wine and a seated dinner provided by Flemming's Steakhouse in a setting usually reserved for performers.
Then the evening builds: an auction featuring items you can't get anywhere else, performances from previous fine arts scholarship winners and a dazzling raffle you could wear home that night.
The impact
Opportunity takes the stage.
Proceeds from Wine Dinner support The Pavilion's arts outreach programs, arts funding for students and educators and free arts performances.
Every table and every act of generosity helps young artists pursue their craft and brings meaningful arts experiences to more people in our community.
