Uncork the Gold.
An evening of gold medal wines, live award announcements, and everything Livermore Valley does best.
Every bottle poured at Uncorked 2026 has earned a Gold Medal or higher at the California Signature Wine Awards — a rigorous, independent competition held to the highest standards in the industry, evaluated by a panel of respected wine professionals. To pour here, a wine had to prove itself. That’s what makes this evening different.
Join us outdoors at the stunning McGrail Vineyards & Winery on May 15th for a night that celebrates some of the very best Livermore Valley has to offer — in the glass and on the stage.

The Evening
6:00 – 7:00 PM — Seminar
Start the evening with an intimate, expert-led seminar that goes beyond the pour. Hear directly from the people behind Livermore Valley’s wines and become apart of our community.
Seminar tickets are available individually or packaged with a general tasting ticket.
7:00 – 9:00 PM — Tasting Event
Join us outdoors on the front lawn of McGrail Vineyards & Winery and taste your way through Livermore Valley’s finest. Every wine available tonight earned a Gold Medal or higher at the California Signature Wine Awards. This isn’t a showcase of everything — it’s a showcase of the best.
The Main Event — Live Award Announcements
The evening culminates with the announcement of the Uncorked Best Red and Uncorked Best White — Livermore Valley’s highest wine honors. Eligible wines are those that received a Double Gold or higher at the California Signature Wine Awards from wines submitted from Livermore Valley wineries. The winners are revealed live, on the night.
Why This Matters
The California Signature Wine Awards is a new competition built on a simple idea: rigorous judging produces meaningful results. With strict standards for both the wines entered and the professionals who evaluate them, a gold medal here carries real weight.
Every winery pouring tonight met that standard. That’s not something you’ll find at a typical wine event — and it’s exactly why Uncorked 2026 is worth your evening.
