The Tasting Alliance

The San Francisco International Wine Competition (SFIWC), founded in 1980, set the gold standard for professional wine evaluation, pioneering the rigorous blind judging process that The Tasting Alliance upholds across all its competitions. As the flagship event in our portfolio, SFIWC has provided wineries with a prestigious platform for global recognition, establishing a benchmark for quality and excellence.

For over four decades, SFIWC has remained a trusted authority, celebrating wines from around the world and helping brands gain credibility, visibility, and consumer trust. As the wine industry continues to evolve, the competition embraces emerging trends, offering expanded categories that highlight regional distinctions, organic and natural wines, and innovative winemaking practices. With its legacy of integrity and influence, SFIWC remains an essential opportunity for wineries to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
