Judging – May 12-13, 2026

Most of the wine consumed at home is primarily purchased by women. But as a winemaker, how do you know which wine she will choose? One way is to enter your wine in the International Women’s Wine Competition, judged entirely by wine industry professional women.

Expert opinions can boost sales and judges’ decisions may directly influence female wine buyers. Judges include wine-based traditional media and social media experts who know how to get the word out about the wines they like. Aside from judging wines on their own merit made by both men and women, a special award will be given to the Best Woman Winemaker based on wines made just by women.
