Volcanic Wine Awards
Volcanic Wines International, collaborates with JancisRobinson.com, for the return of the Volcanic Wines Awards, celebrating outstanding wines grown in volcanic soils around the world.
Entries will be blind-tasted by a panel of experts assembled by JancisRobinson.com Trade General Manager Joshua Greene and John Szabo, MS, co-founder of Volcanic Wines International and author of Volcanic Wines: Salt, Grit and Power.
To ensure impartiality, judges will receive only the vintage, grape variety(ies), and region for each entry. Wines will be evaluated independently based on regional expression and overall quality, with awards given for Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals. The most exceptional wines will be elevated to Best in Show status by the panel chairs.
Winning wines will be featured on JancisRobinson.com with tasting notes and scores, and celebrated in person during the fifth edition of the International Volcanic Wines Conference, taking place in New York City on June 10, 2026.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Only wines from grapes grown in volcanic soils are eligible to be judged in this competition. Please do not submit other wines; we will be vetting all submissions and will have to reject any that are not from volcanic terroirs.
