Celebrate a Decade of Fine Wine & Fine Art

It’s our tenth anniversary, which means ShuttleCork is pulling out all the stops to make sure this year’s event is one you’ll never forget! Join us for two stellar nights of food, wine, and fundraising, supporting education, community, and access for all, at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. You will meet vintners, taste fine wines and food, and participate in the live auction featuring rare wines, luxury travel, and one-of-a-kind experiences.

Choose your ShuttleCork experience: Join us for both nights, including Thursday’s Winemaker Dinners in private homes, plus Friday’s Grand Tasting, Live Auction and ShuttleCork After Dark. Or, simply attend the Friday-night event only.

Whichever choice you make, we appreciate your support. We look forward to seeing you at the museum’s largest fundraiser of the year!

Thursday, May 4 | Winemaker Dinners in Private Homes

One of Kansas City’s most exceptional nights! Talented local chefs are paired with West Coast winemakers to create a remarkable evening. Dinner is served in six fabulous homes. Seating is limited.

Friday, May 5 | Grand Tasting & Live Auction at the Nelson-Atkins

Taste fine wines from more than 25 top winemakers while sampling food offerings from 20 local restaurants during the Grand Tasting inside the museum. Then move to the big-top tent, where you will find a sensational atmosphere to raise your paddle high and often! Make a bid for rare wines, luxury travel, and one-of-a-kind experiences.
