Amazing Grapes

Amazing Grapes is a major fundraiser benefiting both the Hermann-Grima and Gallier Historic Houses. Because it fills the gap between admission, endowment, membership and other income, and the cost of operations, funds raised from Amazing Grapes are a critical source of revenue for the organization.

Each spring, wine connoisseurs attend New Orleans’ Amazing Grapes, an elegant dining experience and premier wine auction. The evening begins with a cocktail party and a silent auction. Immediately following cocktails, guests participate in a spirited live auction. With donations from numerous private cellars, restaurants, hotels, and vineyards this portion of the evening always creates much excitement and extremely competitive bidding.
