The USA edition of the Best Cava Sommelier Competition will take place on November 5 during SommCon San Diego, one of the leading wine and hospitality conferences in the country. This collaboration brings the competition to a dynamic, industry‑driven environment where sommeliers, educators, and wine professionals gather to learn, connect, and showcase their expertise.
Hosted at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, in San Diego, three sommeliers will go head‑to‑head in a series of four carefully designed challenges that test their wine knowledge, communication skills, and creativity.
From blind tastings to expertly curated food‑and‑wine pairings, the event will highlight the versatility of Cava de Guarda Superior, offering an elevated exploration of Spain’s iconic sparkling wine and the premium quality, tradition, and innovation behind it.
All registered candidates complete an online assessment designed to evaluate their knowledge of Cava, and professional understanding. Only the highest‑scoring participants advance to the in‑person finals.
Finalists will have the opportunity to attend the live competition in their respective country. During this stage, candidates will face practical challenges evaluated by an expert panel jury.
More details are coming soon!
