Premium wines, couture gowns and a red carpet lead into what has become an annual, enchanting evening – The Luxury Awards. CV Luxury Magazine {California Vibe} is the Central Valley’s most coveted printed {and digital} publication. Throughout the year, their covers feature a variety of E!’s hottest celebrities to the occasional Fresno Famous faces. Issues of culture, fashion, travel and local buzz make us feel very much like the center of “California’s Vibe”, which acclaims our tireless efforts to fight the stigma of an underdeveloped, desolate farming Valley!

As the champagne was popping, ABC 30 News Anchor, Liz Harrison, led the evening while TorNino’s banquets served a delicious four-course dinner. The likes of developers, media personalities, business owners, Ivy-League Doctors, and well traveled designers joined together to celebrate the Central Valley’s very own “Oscars”, recognizing The Best Of Everything that Fresno has to offer!

We were humbled and honored by the local support with nominations for our stores in two categories: Best Fine Gifts for RSVP Style, and Best Fine Jewelry Store for Gianni Fine Jewelers. Our goal is to continue to bring the Central Valley a luxury shopping experience in each of our boutique departments at The Palatine Building.

We are thankful for our two-time win of Best Jewelry Store for Gianni Fine Jewelers and want to congratulate all nominees and the following winners!
