Get Ready for the 2026 WineaPAWlooza Event Featuring Wine, Couture, Cuisine and Compassion
Guests can also bid on lifestyle and luxury auction lots.
The 13th annual WineaPAWlooza returns for an unforgettable two-night celebration on Friday, June 19, and Saturday, June 20, 2026. This extraordinary event is the signature fundraiser of Jameson Humane, a Napa Valley animal rescue and welfare organization.
WineaPAWlooza brings together world-class Napa Valley vintners and winemakers, French Laundry Alum chefs and so much more. “One of this year’s highlights is Max Alexander, a child prodigy who has become a celebrated fashion designer,” said Monica Stevens, President and Founder of Jameson Humane.
Friday, June 19, will kick off at Vice Versa’s new state of the art winery in Calistoga, hosted by vintner-owners Patrice & Samantha Breton, featuring a ToKalon vineyard discussion with legendary grape grower Andy Beckstoffer, Patrice Breton and other leading Napa vintners and winemakers.
The evening includes a musical performance by WRISTROCKET, and culinary delights from Napa Valley Chef Itamar Abramovitch, Blossom Catering. Saturday, June 20, moves to the breathtaking Castellucci Estate in Oakville, where 60 of Napa Valley’s glitterati vintners and winemakers will pour their exceptional wines.
The evening honors Vintners William and Ginger Nemerever, Nemerever Vineyards, recipients of the Jameson Humane Philanthropic Hero Award; and features a culinary experience by Chefs Daniel Gomez Sanchez, owner of DGS Culinary in Napa, and Elliot Bell, owner of Charlie’s in St Helena–both alumni of The French Laundry. Guests will also enjoy bidding on the incredible auction lots, including a real-time creation by Max Alexander.
The evening will continue with beats from DJ Kirill. “It’s an honor to host this year’s WineaPAlooza at our Castellucci Estate as this event so beautifully unites Napa Valley’s generosity with purpose,” said Maria Castellucci, Proprietor of Castellucci Napa Valley. “WineaPAWlooza embodies the best of the valley’s philanthropic spirit — where a shared love of wine, food, and fellowship transforms into tangible impact for the animals and the communities Jameson Humane serves.”
