Competitions

Texas State-Wide Non-Commercial Wine Competition - Sunday, October 15th

All Guild members are eligible to enter one or more homemade wines. The Guild occasionally has a wine judging training class as the theme of a monthly meeting, and  members can get trained and serve as a wine judge in the competition.

The competition generally serves as the monthly meeting for whatever month it’s held. So, as always, members bring a potluck dish, a wine glass, and a wine to share. SARWG fundraisers and other activities are held while the wine judging occurs.

The only entry fee is your annual membership dues. Any homemade wine is eligible to be entered, providing it has not already been awarded a Gold or Silver medal in a previous SARWG competition.

Read the SARWG By-Laws and Competition Rules.


Volunteering

To have a successful competition, we need volunteers for the following roles:

Volunteering is fun and, apart from the Head Judge, anyone can do it. The Guild usually offers wine judging training a month or two before the competition, so those interested in judging can do it confidently. See the monthly newsletter or attend a meeting for information about the next competition.: LODESTAR BY AUTOMATTIC.
