Wine Auction 2018

On January 15, 1988, The Women’s Board of Lyric Opera of Chicago presented its first Wine Auction in the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Grand Foyer. Since then, the Women’s Board’s Wine Auctions have raised over nine million dollars for Lyric. This year, we commemorate the event’s 30th anniversary with Wine Auction 2018 on April 14, 2018. It is our most sincere privilege to welcome Château Margaux as our Honored Guest and celebrate Shirley Welsh Ryan as our Honoree.

Lauded by many as Lyric’s most elegant evening, there are many ways to get involved with Wine Auction, even from the comfort of your own home. Our mobile and online bidding make it easy for you to browse our amazing lots; from luxury trips around the world and rare bottles of wine, to dinner with Sir Andrew Davis, there is something perfect for everyone! Online bidding opens March 26, 2018, and you can register using the link on our Wine Auction webpage.

Under the passionate leadership of Women’s Board President and Wine Auction Co-Chair Nancy S. Searle and Co-Chair Keith Goldstein, Wine Auction 2018 is projected to be our most successful auction to date! Make no mistake—an event such as this takes the time, support, and efforts of every member of the generous Lyric family, like you. This incredible commitment ensures the success of Lyric’s future.
