Marseille doesn't just attract Parisians, the region also catches the eye of some of the biggest American stars, some of whom even succumb to buying a small piece of land there and making wine.

A big solidarity auction
On the occasion of this exceptional solidarity sale, wines from the estates of Hollywood stars located in the Var region will be auctioned off. Among the headliners offering their bottles, we find, among others, the American actors Brad Pitt, George Clooney and the Star Wars director, George Lucas. The event will take place at the bistro restaurant Les Jardins du Cloître (13th arrondissement). And to participate, you will need to reserve your table for dinner. Also up for grabs during the charity dinner that accompanies the sale will be a mathusalem of Miraval champagne signed by "Brad" and three exceptional bottles from Skywalker Vineyards estate in Marin County, California, owned by George Lucas.

The benefits donated to associations
All the profits from the sale on June 20 will be donated to them. "Half will go to the sustainable village in the Democratic Republic of Congo to fund a training school. The other half will be used to help struggling farmers. During the previous edition of this auction sale in 2023, 15,000 euros were raised for the cultural and ecological project in the DRC, so we hope this year will be another success!
