WINE RIVAL brings together the nation’s sommelier community and wine aficionados for a blind tasting tournament. It’s the world’s most exciting wine event! Sixty-four individuals will go head-to-head to advance to the championship round with the ultimate hope of taking home the grand prize: $10,000 cash. That’s a whole lot of vino!
The event kicks off with an over-the-top Tailgate Tasting, the exciting pre-party to the main event that will run through the first half of the competition. Ticket holders will have access to more than 300 luxury wines in a walk-around tasting as well as a grand display of endless bites. While feasting on fancy finger foods and a selection of sweets, guests will sample from wineries that include some of the most iconic names in the world, including Jordan, Moet Hennessy, Louis Roederer, Heitz, and more. At 7pm, the official WINE RIVAL Tournament begins. All ticket holders can watch the tournament while the registered competitors try their luck at the tasting tournament led by renowned judges. Judge luck to them!
While ticket holders look on, each competitor will partake in a blind taste test, tournament-style! The winner will advance to the next round, similar to March Madness.
