Every wine is rated 90 or higher and comes from the world’s best wine-growing regions. 

Whether you prefer old-world or new-world white, red, rosé, sparkling or port, over 200 individual wines will be available for tasting. Winemakers from some of the best wineries in the world will be in attendance at Wine Spectator’s Grand Tour Las Vegas to discuss the various aspects of their wines, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and mingle with present and future legends from the industry.
