'Wine, Women & Shoes' at Charles Krug Winery Saturday

The fundraiser will be held from 11am to 3pm on the picturesque shaded lawns of Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena. It will feature food from local chefs, caterers and restaurants, and wines from Napa’s most prestigious wineries.

Also included in the high spirited event is a fashion show with women’s and men’s clothes from Helen Lyall and Scott Lyall, a shopping marketplace with shoes and accessories, a raffle to win a dream closet valued at over $7,000, and a silent and live auction. If these aren’t enough reason to make this a ‘not-to-be-missed’ event, the piece d’ resistance is the presence of over 25 handsome and charming Napa Valley Shoe Guys waiting on you hand and foot. Plus, this year everyone is wearing WHITE! Wear white and don your most colorful accessories…or buy some there!

“When you attend Wine Women & Shoes for NEWS you are supporting other women who are in the midst of a difficult struggle to end the violence in their lives. You help them to survive beyond it, and to have a better life,” says Tracy Lamb, Executive Director of Wine Women & Shoes Napa Valley.  100% of ticket and auction sales and 20% of your vendor purchases are contributed to NEWS.

NEWS is ecstatic to announce that Jean Charles Boisset of Boisset Family Estates will be the Best in Shoe Judge at the event. Boisset, a wine industry icon known for his style as much as his growing winery empire, will mingle with guests at the event and select winners among attendees in three categories: best heel, best wedge and sassiest flat. Boisset’s Raymond Vineyards will be pouring their Burgundian sparkling wine for Stiletto guests upon arrival.

Star studded media will also support NEWS. High profile San Francisco photographer and socialite examiner columnist, Moanalani Jeffrey, will photograph the event and fashion show. Due to her extensive social and media popularity, Jeffries images of last year’s event were featured in 7x7 magazine and examiner.com.

Additionally, an episode of Feast It Forward™ will be filmed at the event! Feast it Forward™ showcases good will and charitable giving through culinary and wine related events. Food & wine enthusiasts (coined as “Foodies & Winos”) learn about causes around the country, alongside the chefs and winemakers inspired by them. Katie Shaffer hosts the show that features everything from “off the beaten path” wineries, food and wine fundraisers, to vintners opening up their homes for intimate tastings and gourmet fare, this behind the scenes look is truly beyond the bottle.

Event planner David Aten is lending his skills and amazing talent to the event as well. Aten is a huge supporter of Napa Emergency Women’s Services and everyone knows that David knows how to put on the BEST events in the Napa Valley. David’s events are pure magic and he gives WW&S Napa Valley his ALL!
