Celebrating the most distinctive wines from volcanic terroirs.
Submissions Deadline: Submissions for wines already landed in the US market are open until January 20, 2026 11:59 PM. We are now past the submissions deadline for wines that need to be shipped from outside the US and clear customs. We will continue to receive those wines that have already been approved, but can no longer accept new entries for wines that are not landed in the US.
Eligible Wines: Only wines from grapes grown in volcanic soils are eligible to be judged in this competition. Please do not submit other wines; we will be vetting all submissions and will have to reject any that are not from volcanic terroirs.
The competition will be held in New York City. If you plan to ship wines into the US, you will need a COLA waiver to send them through customs. If you need assistance in applying for a COLA waiver, you may contact Colangelo & Partners for further information and a fee schedule: volcanicwinesintl@colangelopr.com.
