We raised an incredible $1.3 million at Southern Smoke Decanted 2025! We ate, we drank, we raised our paddles—and most importantly, we showed up for the food and beverage industry in a big way.

Mark your calendars: 南方煙燻酒,2026 年裝瓶 is set for March 28 at our stunning new home, Lott Hall in Hermann Park. We can’t wait to do it all over again! Cheers! 🥂

Southern Smoke Decanted '25: Yachty By Nature

Welcome aboard S.S. Decanted: Yachty by Nature—a vintner’s tasting reception and auction where luxury meets purpose. Imagine yourself savoring the finest wines and gourmet delights, with the breezy beats of Yacht Rock and classic Hip Hop setting the perfect backdrop.

Enjoy an expertly curated tasting reception presented by Lexus before raising a toast (and a paddle!) to the food and beverage industry at a seated live auction benefiting Southern Smoke Foundation. Through critical emergency relief funding and mental health resources, Southern Smoke Foundation provides a safety net to food and beverage workers nationwide, ensuring they have the support they need when times are tough.

So gather your friends, dust off your captain’s hats, and join us for an inspiring celebration that toasts to resilience, community, and the power of giving back.

常問問題
What is the attire for the event?

Yacht Luxe Meets Street Chic. A perfect blend of upscale yacht vibes and hip hop flair—ideal for a sophisticated daytime affair. Think breezy nautical-inspired elegance with bold urban touches. Top off your look with a classic Members Only jacket and a captain’s hat for the ultimate high-seas swagger that’s sure to turn heads in the daylight.

Can I bring my own wine?

Yes! We encourage you to bring special bottles from your cellar to share with your table.

Is parking available?

We STRONGLY encourage rideshare for this event, but valet will be available.

Is this a private event?

Yes. Tickets will not be sold the day of the event. 21+ only.

Will food be served?

Yes, all of Houston’s Michelin-starred chefs will be serving food during the vintner’s reception, and we’ll have platters of fried chicken for each table during the auction.

How many wines can I taste?

Is this a question, or a challenge? With more than 40 vintners on hand, you will have the opportunity to taste at least 80 different wines during the Grand Tasting and even more during the Live Auction. In all seriousness, we encourage everyone to drink responsibly.

What time does the event start and end?

Some tables—Notorious Admiral’s Club, Grandmaster Champagne Captains—have early entry at 2pm, and all others arrive at 2:30pm. The event ends at 6pm.

Can I participate if I don’t buy a ticket?

Yes! You can bid on anything in the silent auction without buying a ticket. You must be present to participate in the live auction.

I bought a ticket, but can’t come. What can I do?

You can transfer your ticket to someone else, or donate the ticket price to Southern Smoke Foundation.

When and where do I pick up my winning live and silent auction lots?

All auction items may be picked up at the Southern Smoke Foundation office, located at 4200 Montrose, #430. We will reach out after both auctions have closed with pickup instructions. Payment must be completed prior to pickup.

Pouring back into the industry.

Cheers to our magnificent friends for keeping this goodness flowing—Decanted would still be on the shelf without their remarkable generosity. Special thanks to Lexus, our Vintner’s Tasting supporter, and the Four Seasons, our official hotel supporter. Vroom and board, you might say.

Watching our community come together for a great cause never fails to inspire us at Southern Smoke. Proceeds from Decanted benefit our Foundation’s mission to provide emergency relief and mental health services to food and beverage workers nationwide.
