Tickets are now available for purchase. Click here to take advantage of this exclusive taste-testing opportunity of the best wines and ciders that all of Virginia offers.

While sampling all of VA the V Foundation will be hosting a silent auction with all proceeds going toward cancer research.
One of the toughest and most strict competitions in the US, hosted by the Virginia Wineries Association, Virginia Vineyards Association, and the Virginia Wine Board; this Virginia Governor’s Cup isn’t taken lightly. Each wine will be scored on a 100-point scale by appearance, aroma, and flavor. The process starts in the preliminary round over a course of 10 days. Seven judges will have the opportunity to taste each wine knowing only the category of the wine or the grape used. The judges will drop the lowest score and average the total for the overall score. Then in the final round taking about 3 days, 12 judges will sample all the winners from the preliminary round. The 12 highest-ranked wines will be named the “Governor’s Cup Case.” The wine with the highest score will be deemed the Govern’s Cup winner.
What do the scores mean by numbers?
100-95 Classic: Among the best in the WHOLE WORLD 94-90 Outstanding: Superior Character and Style 89-85 Very Good: A wine with special quality 84-80 Good: A well-made wine of good quality 79-75 Average: Drinkable wine may have minor flaws 74> Not Recommended (NR) or No Score (NS)
Gold Metal goes to 90-100 Silver Metal goes to 85-89 Bronze Metal goes to 80-84
