Grand Tasting & Live Auction
Evening two marks the main events. At the Grand Tasting, enjoy delectable selections from leading winemakers and local restaurants. Under the big-top tent, raise your paddle high at the Live Auction. Finally, hit the after-party next door at After Dark.
Tickets on sale mid-March
Grand Tasting | 5:30–7:30 pm
Savor what the best chefs and vintners have to offer, as 25 top wineries and 30 of Kansas City’s favorite restaurants provide the perfect mix of food, wine, and mingling amongst friends — all in the elegant setting of the Nelson-Atkins.
Live Auction | 8–9 pm
The exciting Live Auction offers valuable wine-themed items, unique gifts, and one-of-a-kind travel packages. Join other art lovers and wine enthusiasts in supporting the museum as a vital partner in the educational, social, and cultural life of Kansas City.
After Dark | 9 – 11:30 pm
After the auction, the action begins. We head to Bloch Lobby to wine down the evening with snacks and treats from local vendors, a DJ, a dance floor, and (importantly!) an open bar. After Dark is the perfect nightcap to ShuttleCork 2025.
