Silent Auction

Because San Francisco's luxury and design industries are so heavily involved, DINING BY DESIGN boasts one of the city's most coveted silent auctions with prestigious design items as well as numerous travel, entertainment, dining and luxury accommodation prizes as well. All auction submissions are reviewed for approval and all items are professionally displayed throughout the Galleria at the GALA DINNER. If you would like to submit an auction item, you may fill out our Silent Auction Item Submission Form and email it directly to our Silent Auction Chair, Brian Dittmar. You may also email Brian with any questions regarding Silent Auction planning and volunteering.

The GALA DINNER is the showpiece event beginning with a table viewing reception featuring Beringer wines and elit by Stolyichnaya cocktails followed by a three-course seated dinner. Dinner guests are seated at one of the 50 signature design tables and may also participate in the exclusive Silent Auction, including luxury gift packages, fine décor items, rare vintage wines, and one-of-a-kind works of art. See Sign Up for full details on how to host and/or design a table.

This event has always sold out in advance. A limited number of Individual Tickets may be available for sale closer to the event date. Updated Individual Ticket information will be posted on our homepage as of October 1, 2008.
