Join us for the 15th Annual Barrel Full of Money Community Event & Fundraiser!

Walla Walla Valley wineries, together with local businesses and nonprofit partners, announce the launch of Barrel Full of Money, an eight-week fundraising campaign benefiting Blue Mountain Action Council (BMAC). Now in its 15th year, this beloved community tradition raises essential funds to support local residents in need.

The campaign kicks off on Wednesday, October 1 with early bird ticket sales, continues with the popular “Bubbles for BMAC” sparkling wine event at The Thief Fine Wine & Spirits on Thursday, November 6, 2025, and culminates in the Community Celebration & Auction on Friday, December 5, 2025, at The Motor Co.

“Bubbles for BMAC” remains a crowd favorite, offering a sparkling wine tasting at The Thief Fine Wine & Spirits on Thursday, November 6, at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, with 50% of proceeds going directly to the campaign.
