Story and photography by Darby Arnold

Guests gathered for the love of wine, food and art at the Knoxville Museum of Art to celebrate the 21st anniversary of L’Amour du Vin, presented by Lexus of Knoxville. The evening featured a divine multi-course dinner prepared by Chef Mitsunobu Nagae of one-Michelin Star restaurant l’abeille in New York, joined by the chefs of Blackberry Farm. Wine pairings were provided by DANA Estates in Rutherford, California. Guests also enjoyed tasting wines provided by D&V Distributing, Empire Distributors and Knoxville Beverage Company, during a lively silent auction. The theme was inspired by the work of artist John Woodrow Kelley of Knoxville. L’Amour du Vin is the largest annual fundraiser for the KMA, and this year’s live auction was record-breaking. The 2024 event was chaired by Rob and June Heller, and designed and planned by Taylor Broyles, Fundraising Events Manager at the KMA.
