General Information
Judging – November 8-9, 2022
Established in 1990, Harvest Challenge is the only wine-judging event in North America that is based on Terroir.
Judges taste wines with other wines of the same appellation. Thus, with cross-regional competition removed, the inherent quality of wines can be seen without the influences that sometimes eclipse even a wine of very high quality.
HC recognizes wine entries that best exemplify the terroir of their respective viticultural areas, and acknowledges its influence on wine quality.
