Join us for Shelter House’s 10th Annual Palate & Palette Wine, Tapas, Live Painting & Auction, a milestone celebration of art, flavor, and community coming together to support survivors of domestic violence. We are honored to welcome Nicole Schmidt and Tara Petito of The Gabby Petito Foundation as our keynote speakers, sharing their powerful message of awareness, safety, and hope.
The evening also features our live artist, Lindsay Tobias (Art by Doman), who will create a one-of-a-kind original painting during the event—later auctioned in an exciting live bidding experience.
This unforgettable night begins with a warm cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres at 6:00 p.m., followed by seating at 7:00 p.m. Guests will enjoy a five-course seated tapas tasting prepared by five renowned local chefs, each course thoughtfully paired with fine wines.
Hosted at Drive The Coast in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, the venue will be transformed into a chic, intimate space with a metropolitan feel. Guests can explore the expansive silent auction, enjoy music, sip a signature cocktail, and capture memories in the Epic Photo Booth.
All proceeds from the evening directly benefit Shelter House Domestic Violence Center, providing lifesaving services and support to survivors across Okaloosa and Walton counties.
We hope you’ll join us for this extraordinary 10-year celebration—an evening of connection, generosity, and community impact
Most importantly, your presence and generosity directly helps survivors in our community—spreading awareness, providing safety, and working together to stop domestic violence.
