First Press Weekend of Wine, now in its seventh year, is the Southwest's premier celebration of fine and rare wines. The weekend extravaganza is the First Press Fine Wine Auction, an evening of gourmet dining paired with the finest wines, a fabulous silent auction, and the highlight event: the live auction of rare and collectible vintages - donations from private cellars, corporate collections, and fine wine vintners from around the world. Vintners from distinguished wineries will host company and individually sponsored VIP tables, serving their wines to their guests.

This year's First Press Weekend of Wine will also feature the First Press Grand Tasting as the kickoff event on Friday evening with wine tasting from a variety of vintners and wineries complemented by gourmet food stations.
