Wine Makers
Annual Home Winemaker Competition
The Annual Home Winemaker’s Competition is open to members of the Placer County Wine & Grape Association, and home winemakers in our region. Entries are limited to wines produced by amateur winemakers. An amateur is considered 1) a person who does not work in a professional wine-producing capacity, or 2) a person who is not an owner of a commercial winery.
The PCWGA is an active part of a community of local resources for supporting our region’s wine makers.
