our 48th Annual event, presented by northern trust, WAS held on SATURDAY, February 22, 2025.

The Guardsmen’s 48th Annual Wine Tasting and Auction, presented by Northern Trust, transformed San Francisco’s historic Palace Hotel into a celebration of philanthropy and fine wine on February 22, 2025. The evening featured an exclusive Changemakers Reception, a Wine Tasting and Silent Auction with over thirty leading wineries, and a seated dinner with a Live Auction offering rare vintages and luxury experiences. The event honored Xochi Birch, Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for her philanthropic contributions, while Cathy Corison was named Winemaker of the Year for her pioneering work in Napa Valley, and Matt Stamp received Sommelier of the Year for his dedication to wine education. Proceeds supported The Guardsmen’s mission to provide educational campership and scholarship opportunities for over 2200 under-resourced Bay Area children each year.
