About
Chaired this year by Janet F. Clark, the Houston Symphony’s Wine Dinner and Collectors’ Auction is one of Houston’s premier social events. Set on the stage of Jones Hall, with a gourmet dinner by Chef Felipe Botero of Michelin-starred Le Jardinier, and expert pairings by John and Lindy Rydman of Spec’s, it is sure to be a night to remember! The evening also features a highly anticipated auction—led by Jack Matzer—offering rare wines, spirits, exclusive experiences, and other unique items. With a goal of raising $1 million, all proceeds will support the Symphony’s artistic programming and its far-reaching Education and Community Engagement initiatives that serve over 200,000 people each year.
This event will sell out quickly, so guests are encouraged to purchase tickets early! Individual tickets start at $2,000 with table sponsorships available.
