Donation Requests
Augusta Winery Donation Policy
Thank you for considering the Augusta Winery for your upcoming fundraising event! We are proud to support a variety of local non-profit organizations. Rather than in-kind donations of wine, we prefer to donate a Gift Certificate to our winery. Augusta Winery does not offer cash sponsorships.
While we try to fulfill every request we receive, please help us by observing the following guidelines:
- Due to the high quantity of requests that we receive, priority is given to local community organizations in our area/Washington, MO area. Unfortunately, we cannot contribute, or even respond, to all of the requests we receive. We are typically limited to areas within a 10 mile radius of Augusta, MO.
- Donations requests must be submitted at least 6 weeks prior to the final date to be included in your print ads/media/auction books. We review all donation requests once a month during the first week of the month.
- All requests for donations need to be submitted on the Donation Request Form with a copy of your letter or flyer attached. Please send via e-mail or mail.
- If we decide to do an in-kind donation of wine, wine can only be donated if the event is free and open to the public.
- Each organization is allowed only one donation per 12 month period.
Augusta Winery does not provide donations to the following:
- Organizations that do not have an Internal Revenue section 501(c)(3) status
- Requests outside the United States
- Individuals
- Annual or capital campaigns and endowment funds
- Conferences or seminars
- Donations for political purposes
- United Way funded agencies
- Private foundations
- Courtesy advertising (i.e.: yearbooks, flyers and school programs)
Private After-Hours Wine Tasting for 10: The tasting allows up to 10 people to gather at our tasting room in Augusta, MO and be treated to a brief history of the area and a discussion of the wines and how they are made. We provide the guests with a cheese and sausage tray from local purveyors. The tastings last about 45 minutes, are offered after closing hours, and must be scheduled at least 2 weeks in advance by calling 636-228-4301 x25. Cancelations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. The certificates are good for one year from date on certificate. We value the private tasting at $250. (Private After-Hours Wine Tastings are also available for purchase.)

The tasting includes a discussion and tips on how to pair complementary flavors in wine & chocolate. This tasting is offered during business hours and no reservations are required. We value the wine & chocolate tasting at $40.00. (The Kakao Chocolate & Wine Pairing is also available for purchase.)
