About Carnivale du Vin

Fine Wines & A Fabulous Fete
Carnivale du Vin is the Emeril Lagasse Foundation’s signature annual fund raising event, which has raised almost $6 million since its inception in 2005. Carnivale du Vin’s live auction ranks as a “Top Ten U.S. Charity Wine Auction” by Wine Spectator magazine according to funds raised.
The annual celebration brings together the best in celebrity chefs and winemakers who serve a once-in-a-lifetime dinner to our esteemed sponsors and guests. The night features a live auction with rare wines and unique travel and lifestyle experiences. The evening is topped off with musical entertainment that keeps the crowd dancing ’til after midnight.
Each year, our friends, guests and sponsors show how much they care. An ever growing community of wine and food lovers lend their time, personality and energy to create a special Carnivale experience. Through their stewardship and support, new opportunities for the arts, education and life skills development are sprouting for future generations.
