For 69 years, our competition has showcased the finest vintages from countries throughout the world, and illustrated time and again why this wine competition is considered one of the most prestigious. Our rich history is a strong foundation upon which we are building with greater consumer outreach. We are looking forward to your participation in this great event!

An unprecedented four-year, seven-figure sponsorship contract between Ralphs Grocery Company and the Los Angeles County Fair Association guarantees greater exposure for the event’s winning entries, offering consumers access to some of the world’s finest wines, spirits, and extra virgin olive oils. Following announcement of the winners, Ralphs features elite Platinum award competition winners at their stores throughout Southern California.

The Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition also provides award winners with labels for wine bottles identifying them as platinum award winning wines and a pocket wine guide, which is distributed to retailers and Fairguests during the annual L.A. County Fair Sept. 5-28. Medal winners are available for the public to taste in the International Wine & Spirits Marketplace, presented by Ralphs, during the Fair.
