The Stephen Center (stephencenter.org) Guild’s annual fundraising event has a twist. vinNEBRASKA Wine Tasting and Grand Auction to benefit Stephen Center will return again one last time. The 2024 fundraiser is special as Stephen Center celebrates its 40th year assisting people experiencing homelessness in the Omaha area.

Beginning in 1990, vinNEBRASKA has hosted an event designed to bring a touch of the Wine Country experience to Omaha and help raise funds for deserving local organizations. At this year’s event, you’ll be able to enjoy a curated collection of premier wines from nationally recognized winemakers as they share their amazing wine, educational stories and exceptional wine products to deliver an unforgettable event.

The public is invited to attend the Wine Tasting and Grand Auction on Saturday, April 6, at 4 p.m. Attendees will sample wines and place their bids during the silent auction on a vast selection of gift-items and wine collectibles. A sit-down dinner and program is included. Live auction items include spectacular vacation getaways.

The event will be held at Omaha Marriott Downtown at the Capitol District, 222 North 10th St. Individual tickets for Saturday’s event are $175, or upgrade to a VIP experience for $275. Sponsorship opportunities are also available and include an additional night of fun with a Vintner Reception and Gourmet Dinner on Friday, March 5, at 5:30 p.m. Visit www.vinnebraska.com to purchase individual tickets or to sponsor a table.
