How The Competition Works

Get ready to sip, judge, and vote! When you arrive at the Sangria Showdown, you'll be given a souvenir tasting glass and a voting card. Sip your way through our lineup of sangrias in a blind tasting experience designed to let the drinks speak for themselves. Then, cast your vote based on creativity, flavor, and originality.

The winner of the 3rd Annual Sangria Showdown will be announced during Uncorked & Uncapped on Friday, September 19, 2025 at Valley Hi Country Club. Witness the winning trophy presentation by getting tickets at CorksandCaps.org.
