Photos from YWCA Wine Women & Shoes 2019

More than 500 friends and supporters of YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee shopped and sipped for a good cause during the seventh annual Wine Women & Shoes at the Music City Center. The event was presented by Regions, and proceeds support the YWCA’s Domestic Violence Services programs, including the Weaver Domestic Violence Center, the 24-Hour Crisis & Support Helpline, and Re-New at the YWCA. Hundreds of the Nashville’s most fashion-forward women (and a few dozen ‘Sole Men’) enjoyed a day out of the rain for an afternoon of wine tastings from some of the country’s top vintners, exclusive shopping from local and national vendors, and an exciting live and silent auction.
