Judging – January 13-17, 2025
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 North America. A major advantage to wineries entering the SFCWC is the vast recognition and outreach of the winning wines including the published wine award special section of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper.
The SFCWC is one of the few wine competitions that produce award winning plaques for silver and above for tasting rooms and winery outreach programs.
