About the event
Hundreds of award-winning wines
The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Public Tasting 2026 centers on hundreds of award-winning wines from the 2026 competition. The official description calls it a public tasting and a one-day event, with the wines presented under one roof in San Francisco.
It is also described as a large-scale consumer wine tasting showcase featuring medal-winning wines from hundreds of North American wineries participating in the 2026 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Published program details also list unlimited tastings from 100+ wineries, a commemorative tasting glass, snacks and small food bites, and a digital event map.
Curated tasting classes
Alongside the main tasting, the event includes a variety of tasting experiences. Senior Wine Critic Esther Mobley and Wine Reporter Jess Lander are each listed to host a curated tasting class and discussion on current trends in the wine industry.
The official page also says the tasting experiences are offered for both casual wine drinkers and people looking to discover something new. That gives the event a broader format than a single walk-around tasting.
