Wine Women & Shoes Steps Back into Nashville on March 21

Girlfriends gather at the annual Wine Women & Shoes to support YWCA’s Weaver Domestic Violence Center.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 13, 2026) – YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee will host its 14th annual Wine Women & Shoes, presented by Regions, on Saturday, March 21, at the Music City Center. More than 600 of Nashville’s most fashionable and philanthropic women are expected to gather in support of Tennessee’s largest provider of domestic violence services.

“Our work addressing domestic violence is more important now than ever,” said Sharon K. Roberson, president and CEO of YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee. “Wine Women & Shoes brings together women from across our community to uplift survivors, support families fleeing abuse, and ensure lifesaving services are there when they are needed most.”

Guests will enjoy an afternoon of tasting experiences featuring a curated selection of wines, spirits, and mocktails, along with signature event favorites including the Best in Shoe contest and the ever-popular Key to the Closet, offering exclusive dining, spa, and luxury experiences valued at more than $5,000. The event will also feature a vibrant shopping marketplace showcasing clothing, jewelry, accessories, and, of course, shoes, as well as an exciting lineup of live auction packages.

The 2026 event is co-chaired by Roxianne Bethune, Laurie Miller, and Meredith Risner, community leaders and longtime supporters of YWCA’s mission. Beloved Nashville media personality Vicki Yates will return as emcee along with her daughter, Torri Yates-Orr, an Emmy-nominated historian, writer, and on-camera host.

All proceeds benefit YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee’s comprehensive domestic violence services, including the Weaver Domestic Violence Center, the 24-Hour Crisis & Support Helpline, Abbie’s Safe Home pet shelter, Re-New at the YWCA, adult and children’s counseling, and other critical supportive services. Last year alone, YWCA answered more than 5,000 crisis calls and provided nearly 11,500 nights of safety to women, children and their pets seeking refuge at the Weaver Center.

Since launching in Nashville, Wine Women & Shoes has raised millions to support survivors of domestic violence and their families. The event has been named one of Nashville’s Best Women’s Events by Nfocus magazine.

In addition to Regions, Wine Women & Shoes sponsors include Old National Bank, Mars, Fifth Third Bank, Chazin, Diversified Trust, LBMC, Wilson Real Estate Group, HCA Healthcare | TriStar Health, and BNA.
