The 41st Annual Hospice Wine Taste and Auction Shines as The Sapphire Ball

February 7

Mark your calendars for one of North Idaho’s most cherished traditions—the 41st Annual Hospice Wine Taste and Auction, taking place Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 5 pm at The Coeur d’Alene Resort. This elegant evening unites our community in celebration and support of Hospice of North Idaho’s mission to provide compassionate, end-of-life care for all, regardless of ability to pay.

This year’s “Sapphire Ball” theme commemorates 45 years of care, promising an unforgettable night of fine wines, gourmet cuisine, live and silent auctions, and moving stories that highlight the impact of hospice services across Kootenai, Shoshone, South Bonner, and Benewah counties. Guests can look forward to exclusive wineries and locally curated culinary pairings crafted for this milestone celebration.

Every dollar raised stays right here in our community—funding hospice care, grief support, and specialized education for patients and families.

Tickets and raffle entries will be available in early November at HospiceWineTaste.org. Sponsorships, donations, and volunteer opportunities are also available for those wishing to make an even greater impact. Join us as we raise a glass to 45 years of compassion, community, and care.
