Orange County Wine Society is a rapidly-growing non-profit educational corporation whose purpose is to promote the knowledge and understanding of wine. To this end, the Society functions to enhance the knowledge of winemaking, viticulture and the appreciation of wine. The Society acts as the co-sponsor and main support group for the Orange County Fair’s largest Commercial Wine Competition and the Homewine Competition.

During the Fair, the Orange County Wine Society proudly exhibits the award-winning wines and features the wines for tasting to the public at the Wine Courtyard at the Orange County Fairgrounds. Our goal is to make wines true to their varietal character and a reflection of the appellation in which the grapes are grown, and we're thrilled to see this vision recognized year after year by the OC Wine Society!
