Cathedral Catholic is San Diego’s largest private high school and the premier Catholic high school. The Wine & Microbrew Tasting and Auction began over 30 years ago, with parents meeting in a backyard to share their favorite beer and wine with fellow parents. It was an opportunity to bring the Dons community together. Through the years this event has grown, but the purpose has remained the same. Dons teams eventually got involved by coordinating the donations of raffle baskets for an auction. Thus, the Annual Wine & Microbrew Tasting and Auction came to be.
This annual event is a community favorite and the most successful fundraiser for Cathedral Catholic's athletic program. It’s an evening for the Dons community and friends to sample microbrews and award-winning wines while enjoying gourmet food options. We expect that this year’s Wine & Microbrew will sell out just as it did last year. Be sure to secure your tickets beginning January 29, 2025!
