The Home Winemaking Competition will take place in May and feature wines made from San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Monterey counties. 

The wines are separated into an array of classes from sparkling wines to whites, to rosés and the popular red varietals. 

The categories are then separated into classes by varietals. The panel of local competition judges evaluate each entry according to appearance, aromatics and taste to determine an overall conclusion.
