–
Vineyards in the Valley, a premier wine-tasting event supporting vital health programs in Haiti, is set to debut in Scottsdale on November 14-16, 2024. This three-day event will feature ultra-premium, highly allocated wine from California, gourmet food pairings, VIP wine dinners in collaboration with some of Scottsdale’s best restaurants, and a charity auction, all aimed at raising funds for healthcare initiatives that provide life-saving services to women and children in Haiti.
All proceeds from the event will directly benefit health programs focused on breast and cervical cancer screenings, nutritional support for mothers and children, and access to free medicine administered by Hope for Haiti, a four-star Charity Navigator-rated organization with a 35-year history of improving the quality of life for children, families, and communities in Haiti.
“We are thrilled to bring more than 45 incredible California vineyards to Scottsdale this year, where they will inspire our guests with some of the best wine the world has to offer,” said co-organizer, Ricky Palmer. “There is currently no event in Scottsdale like this one that brings together incredible winemakers, curated local dining experiences, and the chance to support a great cause. We plan to make this an annual event.”
Skyler Badenoch, CEO of Hope for Haiti, shared his thoughts on the event’s impact:
“This event holds a special place in my heart, not just because of the incredible wine and the support for cervical cancer screenings, maternal nutritional support, and access to essential medicines in Haiti, but because of the deep friendship it represents. Ricky and I have known each other for more than 40 years, and to see our shared passions come together in this event is truly special. Scottsdale needs an event like this, and we are excited to make it happen.”
