General Information

The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is currently the largest wine competition in North America. All bonded wineries in the United States, Canada, and Mexico are eligible to enter the wine competition. No entries from wines grown or produced outside of North America are eligible to enter. Professional wine judges are sourced throughout the major wine regions in North America to offer diversity of expertise to each judging panel. A major advantage to wineries entering the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is the vast recognition and outreach of the award winning wines including the published wine award special section of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is one of the few wine competitions that produce award winning plaques for silver and above wine awards for tasting room and winery outreach purposes. All wineries are invited to pour their award winning wines at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Public Tasting at Fort Mason Center on February 15, 2020. This allows wineries to showcase their wines to over 5,000 consumers of the Bay Area. Wineries need to reserve tables for this public tasting upon registration as tables get sold out early.
