Amateur Wine Competition
Harvest Fair is proud to partner with GENCO again this year!
All California resident amateur wine makers are invited to participate.
-
- An amateur is 21 years of age, does not work in a winery in any winemaking capacity, and no part of his or her livelihood is derived from commercial wine production.
- An entry consists of one bottle of your wine.
- Entries will open on July 1, 2026.
Taste, Toast & Celebrate! Save the date for Saturday, October 10, 2026! from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Tasting Pavilion at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.
Innovation, exploration and artisanal are words to describe these up-and-coming winemakers. While the entrants in this category may be considered amateur, they are all making their mark on the Sonoma County wine industry. Keep an eye on these winemakers – they’re definitely the industry’s future! Awards will be advertised through the website and media releases.
The Sonoma County Harvest Fair Board has created Digital Medals that you can download and use to promote your award winners on your website and social media!
