In 2026, we’re honored to celebrate a milestone: the 20th Anniversary Lehigh Valley Wine Gala & Auction—a year defined by expanded and elevated wine and culinary experiences that directly support the children and families served by The Children’s Home of Easton and the Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society.
Spring Signature Event: 20th Anniversary Wine Gala
Please join us on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at Saucon Valley Country Club for TWICE the fun!
This milestone year is elevated by the presence of two nationally recognized Wine Chairs—Christine Turley of Turley Wine Cellars and Rob Sinskey of Robert Sinskey Vineyards—creating a truly special tasting experience for our guests.

“We are a fan of enjoying wine, not just as a precious, intellectual experience, but as a visceral one involving all the senses.”
“We believe that the story of how a wine is made is as important as the wine itself.”
The oldest of Larry’s four daughters, Christina spent summers growing up working beside her father in the winery. She moved to New York to attend Barnard College at Columbia University, and graduated in 2006 with a BA in Art History. After a brief stint at Matthew Marks Gallery, she buckled down and finally got serious about wine, becoming a Certified Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers and passing the WSET Advanced program with Honors. She became entrenched in the NYC restaurant scene and eventually worked her way up to become the beverage director for the Momofuku Restaurant Group. After 8 years in New York her father finally guilted her into returning to her roots, and following a temporary period as a sales representative for Chambers & Chambers Wine Merchants, Christina joined Turley full time in 2010. She has since been named to both Forbes’ “30 Under 30” and Wine Enthusiast’s “40 Under 40.”
After 20 years, Robert Sinskey’s philosophy is that “Wine is not an athletic event” holds true to this day. For Sinskey, the goal has always been to make “pure wines of character that pair well with cuisine.” And Robert Sinskey Vineyards is spreading the gospel that organically grown grapes produce fine wines of great individuality. Rob Sinskey believes that making luxuriously elegant wines and farming with earth friendly methods are not mutually exclusive. Rather, he has found that caring for the land organically, combined with conscientious business practices (including a solar powered winery, using biodiesel from used restaurant oil in tractors and trucks, and having sheep and chickens mow the cover crops) have helped define the well-crafted wines of Robert Sinskey Vineyards.
