National Wine Awards of Canada

The WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada (NWAC), the country’s largest competition of Canadian wines, is held annually in mid to late June. Each year, somewhere in Canadian wine country, co-founders Anthony Gismondi and David Lawrason assemble Canada’s leading wine writers, trade buyers and sommeliers to evaluate the current crop of 100 percent Canadian grown and made wines and ciders. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of these wine awards.

The WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada are going back to beautiful Penticton, British Columbia in 2020. Judging to determine the best wines in Canada will take place from June 24–28. Registration will begin in March. Please stay tuned to this page for more details.
