On Saturday, February 1st, 2025, Byblos Miami will transform into a philanthropic haven as Cabernet with Battier makes its highly anticipated return. Hosted by NBA legend Shane Battier and his wife, Heidi, this celebrated soirée combines fine wine, decadent dining, and karaoke in support of The Battier Take Charge Foundation. The event has raised over $900,000 since its inception, and the Battiers aim to make this fifth installment their most impactful yet.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring Cabernet with Battier back for a fifth year to marry great people, delicious food, and incredible wines for a cause that means so much to us. Through Battier Take Charge, Heidi and I are committed to providing dynamic educational resources for incredibly deserving young scholars right here in our own backyard.”Shane Battier
The evening kicks off with a curated wine tasting featuring vintages from eight renowned Napa Valley vineyards, including Adversity, Boich Family Cellars, Ellman, and Vineyard 29. Guests will savor these exceptional pours before sitting down to an intimate dinner for 100, where Byblos Miami’s signature Mediterranean dishes will be paired with wines designed to elevate each bite.
But the night doesn’t stop there. After dinner, attendees will step into Byblos’ private lounge for an unforgettable karaoke experience. This year, a live five-piece band with backup singers will accompany guests, giving them the chance to channel their inner rockstars. And, of course, the evening will close with a showstopping performance by Shane Battier himself—a tradition as cherished as the cause it supports.
At its core, Cabernet with Battier is about more than wine and entertainment; it’s a mission to create opportunities. The Battier Take Charge Foundation provides scholarships and mentoring programs for underprivileged youth, fostering the next generation of leaders. With partnerships spanning organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters Miami and Detroit’s Horizons-Upward Bound, the foundation’s impact is felt across the country.
Battier Scholars, supported by these programs, are thriving at prestigious universities nationwide. The foundation also enhances the lives of high school students through mentoring, college readiness programs, and scholarships in Miami, Camden, NJ, and Detroit, MI.
In previous years, Cabernet with Battier has attracted a dazzling array of supporters, including LeBron James, Gabrielle Union, Jimmy Buffett, and Pat Riley. With its blend of philanthropy and glamour, the event is a magnet for South Florida’s elite and those who share the Battiers’ passion for education.
Limited individual tickets are available at $1,000, while tables range from $10,000 to $50,000. For those unable to attend, donations can still be made to The Battier Take Charge Foundation, extending the opportunity to impact young lives.
On February 1st, 2025, Byblos Miami will host the fifth annual Cabernet with Battier event, led by Shane and Heidi Battier. This philanthropic evening includes wine tastings, a Mediterranean dinner, and karaoke, aiming to raise funds for The Battier Take Charge Foundation. The foundation supports underprivileged youth through scholarships and mentoring programs, with the event featuring Napa Valley wines and a live band for karaoke.
