Los Vinos de Dalí is hosted by The Guild at The Dalí and celebrates art, food and wine. Through event sponsorship and ticket sales, the event raises much needed funds to support the Museum’s mission to preserve Dalí’s legacy and serve as an active resource in the cultural life of our community. This year’s fundraiser will include a silent auction, featuring hand-crafted furniture, fine jewelry and more. Preview some of the unique items that will be available to bid on.
