2026 East Meets West 


Early Bird Savings NOW Through
October 1st!


Entry Deadline - October 6th, 2026
Wine Shipments due - October 9th 5 p.m.

Judging October 20th - 21st

Two Competitions in One!

 

We have combined two of our oldest and most established brands into the International East Meets West Wine Challenge: to see exactly where East Meets West.

 

Wines will simultaneously be judged in two divisions: International Eastern Wine Competition and the West Coast Wine Competition. Traditional awards will be given in each division.

 

Best of Show winners will move on to compete in the East Meets West Taste Off to see which wine reigns overall. This affords your wine two chances to win!

 

And the Riesling Championship continues. Rieslings will be judged in both competitions to award a best Eastern Riesling and a best Western Riesling.

 

The challenge is on!  It’s time to see where East Meets West.
