Since its inception 32 years ago, the annual TSO Fine Wine Charity Auction fundraiser has raised more than $8 million with the generous support of donors and buyers. Funds raised support the world-class Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO), and provide funding and support to the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra and its tuition-free program, and the TSO’s music education programs that reach thousands of students each year. This annual fundraiser is a project of the Toronto Symphony Volunteer Committee.

As a donor you can do your part in our community by donating a bottle or selection of fine wines from your cellar to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra Fine Wine Charity Auction.

Donations of fine wine are accepted year-round. Wine for the 2023 auction must be received by August 31, 2023 for inclusion in the 2023 auction. To be eligible for a 2023 charitable income tax receipt, donations must be received by December 31, 2023.

Donations to the Auction are eligible for a charitable income tax receipt based on the appraised value of the wine in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.

For more information, please contact Linda McGeown, TSVC General Manager at lmcgeown@tso.ca.
