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.

In 2018, we returned to Penticton, in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, where judging took place from June 20th to 24th.

Registration is Closed

We will start announcing the results on Wednesday, July 19th. Please check the schedule below.
