CALIFORNIA STARS

About this Event

Following the successful California Wine Weeks in Europe, the California Wine Institute and Star Wine List have launched a new program to highlight and promote restaurants with the most impressive selections of California wines: California Stars.

Running as a separate initiative to Star Wine List’s Red/White Stars, and the global awards, restaurants can now apply to be listed as a ‘California Star’ on the Star Wine List website and app. If approved, these restaurants will be assigned one, two or three stars for their Californian selections.

These listings will be promoted with extensive social media and influencer campaigns.

“We are excited to showcase the best wine lists featuring Californian wines all over Europe with the California Wine Institute,” says Krister Bengtsson, Star Wine List’s Founder and Publisher. “It will connect even more wine lovers across the region with great wine places.”

Marco Tiggelman, Trade Director Programs at the California Wine Institute, adds: “After four years of promoting California Wines on the menu through our California Wine Weeks campaign, reaching over 500 restaurants across 13 countries, we are very pleased to be joining forces with Star Wine List, bringing our 55,000 engaged social media followers on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn @californiawineseurope to this unique platform.”

If your wine list features a strong selection of Californian wines, apply via this link. Venues with up to 10 examples will be eligible for one star, while those with 11-50 can apply for two stars; those with over 50 can qualify for three stars.
