For a quarter-century, the SFCWC has been a cornerstone of the American wine industry, providing a prestigious platform for wineries to showcase their exceptional work. We’re incredibly grateful to the countless wineries, both large and small, who have participated over the years.
We’d also like to express our sincere thanks to the Cloverdale Citrus Fair for their continued support in hosting our judging every year in January! Their partnership has been instrumental in the success of the SFCWC.
Our esteemed panel of over 60 judges meticulously evaluates each entry, ensuring a comprehensive and rigorous competition. Their expertise shines a spotlight on the unique flavors and regional distinctions of North American wines. We celebrate the artistry and dedication of winemakers who seamlessly blend modern technology with time-honored traditions.
The SFCWC remains committed to elevating the success of award-winning wineries. Through our partnership with the San Francisco Chronicle, we offer comprehensive media coverage, including print, radio, online platforms, and social media. Additionally, all winning wines receive prominent year-round recognition on winejudging.com.
Thank you for your continued participation in this prestigious competition. We look forward to another year of celebrating exceptional winemaking!
