Los Angeles International Wine Competition
Los Angeles, California
Chairwoman
We are the original and exclusive Los Angeles-based competition for wines and spirits, known as the Los Angeles International Wine Competition. With 88 years of experience, we are the oldest wine competition in the USA. This competition attracts wines and spirits from all corners of the globe, and features expert judges from both the USA and Europe. The competition provides a fantastic marketing platform for all the winning wines, with the opportunity to showcase them to the guests of the Los Angeles County Fair through our 9K wine and spirits garden. In June, we host a public tasting event called Cheers, which features all gold winners. Last year, our wine garden served more than 800,000 guests, making this competition a must-enter for wineries seeking exposure to the LA market.
