Cheers to you!

On behalf of University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital, thank you for celebrating WineFest No. 18—A Toast to Children's Health! Because of you, we raised more than $815,000 this year in support of children's health research, education, and care at the University. This brings our total to nearly $10.5 million raised for children's health since WineFest's inception.

At WineFest this year we celebrated the many University firsts in children’s health AND made history with a WineFest first—setting the Guinness World Record for the most bottles of wine uncorked simultaneously. Thanks to all who participated!

Relive the fun! See videos from WineFest highlighting award recipients and the children and families we serve. Help spread the word by sharing these videos with family and friends. Also, see photos from the event on our Facebook page.

With your participation and the help of dedicated volunteers, our physicians and researchers continue to advance children's health and help families in Minnesota and throughout the world. This would not be possible without your commitment to children's health!

Thanks again for being a part of WineFest No. 18!

New Guinness World record set

University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital is world-renown for making history with medical firsts and breaking records tied to improving outcomes for children. That’s why WineFest No. 18 was all about setting records.

So what better way to celebrate than to break one?

Following the Wine Symposium on Friday, May 10th, WineFest guests broke the Guinness World Record for “Most People Uncorking Wine Simultaneously.” The previous record, set in 2012 by the Stenden Hotel Management School, stands at 362 people. We had more than 450 people involved in our attempt at WineFest – A Toast to Children’s Health.
