Up-and-coming winemakers will be celebrated on Saturday, April 23, 2022 when the Emerging Winemakers Competition & Symposium returns for its fourth year at Yavapai College’s Verde Valley campus in Clarkdale, Arizona. The event will run from 9:30 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. MST (PDT) and will be held both in person at the College as well as streamed live online.

Organized by the Grand Crew, a Yavapai College Viticulture and Enology student/alumni organization, the event will feature educational seminars during the Symposium, an awards ceremony and a roundtable discussion with the competition’s seven judges.

“We’re looking forward to being both in-person and online this year to celebrate our state’s emerging winemakers,” said the Competition Organizer Bill Anderson. “This is a great opportunity to learn from industry leaders and winemakers.”

An “emerging” winemaker is anyone at least twenty-one (21) years of age whose wine is not available commercially. Wine submissions are being accepted for the competition until March 31, 2022. For entry forms and submission details, visit www.emergingwinemakers.com.
