A number of country stars raised a glass in support of the T.J. Martell Foundation’s Best Cellars event at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel Nashville on April 22. The wine-tasting event, which also featured a gourmet dinner, helped raise more than $400,000 to benefit the T.J. Martell Foundation, the music industry’s leading foundation to fund innovative cancer research.

Country stars in attendance included Kix Brooks, Michael Ray, Carly Pearce, Hunter Hayes, Cole Swindell, Big Kenny Alphin of Big & Rich, Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum, Trevor Rosen of Old Dominion, Bryan White and more.

Best Cellars provided guests the opportunity to mingle with the country stars while sipping rare wine and enjoying a sit-down dinner. Chefs Vivian Howard and Jason Stanhope created the dinner menu.
