Wineries pouring at the Ojai Wine Festival can choose to participate in a special free wine judging service. Certified wine sommeliers will evaluate and score wines poured at this yearβs festival. The team of sommeliers will complete a grading sheet for each wine, and will issue a score on the 100-point scale on the event day.
Gold, Silver and Bronze certificates will be awarded in several categories. Award winners will be announced at the event at 3pm. Certificates will be mailed out to the award winners.
