A medal is awarded to a specific wine and vintage, not to the winery — the vintage is shown with each entry. Only the competitions listed above are covered; a winery may hold awards from competitions this guide does not yet include.
A greyed website or social icon means we have no link we could verify — not a broken link.
Hours and tasting fees change with the season — confirm on their site or call before you go. New to winery days out? See planning your visit.
