Fine Wine Auction

On Thursday, April 12, 2012, the Canadian Opera Company will host its 13th Annual Fine Wine Auction at the Design Exchange. This year we will rebrand the event and infuse the evening with new and exciting elements. Some 400 wine aficionados and Toronto executives will gather for the event, a night you surely will not want to miss! The COC’s Fine Wine Auction is an opportunity to purchase exquisite international fine wines from private collections while supporting the Canadian Opera Company. Guests can indulge in elegant hors d’oeuvres, sample a number of different fine wines, and browse the fantastic packages in the silent auction.

Stephen Ranger, Toronto’s best known auctioneer, will lead the charge with an impressive array of exquisite and hard-to-find fine wines from private collections. A pre-auction cocktail will begin at 6 p.m. and the live auction starts at 7 p.m.

Purchase tickets to the event.
