Critics' Choice Grand Tasting

At the evening Critics' Choice Grand Tastings there will be more than 250 great wineries/châteaus from the world's best winegrowing regions pouring their wine.

All the invited wineries and châteaus were selected by the Wine Spectator board of editors and have earned our Critics' Choice Award. This walk-around event is considered one of the most educational and enjoyable features of the weekend.

Each winery has been asked to pour one great vintage throughout the two nights of tastings—a wine rated 90 points or higher by Wine Spectator. This is a rare opportunity to meet the owners and winemakers who will be pouring their wines.

Wineries pouring at the Critics' Choice Grand Tasting will be online August 15.

$250 per person each night.

*7:30 pm is the admission time for people that have purchased Grand Tasting tickets only and are not attending the entire weekend. 6:30 is reserved for Complete Package registrants and guests for whom they have purchased tickets.
