MICHIGAN GOVERNER’S CUP 2025
The Governor’s Cup is one of the biggest celebrations of Michigan-made wine. It highlights the creativity and quality coming out of our state’s wineries and gives local producers a chance to be recognized close to home. This year, French Valley brought home:
Best of Category / Gold (92) – Vignoles 2023
Gold (91) – Pinot Blanc 2023
NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL WINE COMPETITION 2025
This competition is unique because all the judges are industry pros who actually buy and sell wine, think retailers, sommeliers, and beverage directors. They taste everything blind and choose winners based on what they believe real customers will love. It’s known for being tough, fair, and very real-world focused. Our results:
Michigan Winery of the Year
Gold (95) – Cloud 9
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE WINE COMPETITION 2025
The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is one of the largest in the country, drawing thousands of entries from coast to coast. It’s an amazing place for smaller wineries like ours to stand alongside big names and shine. This year, French Valley earned:
Gold – Chardonnay Late Harvest 2023
Gold – Pinot Blanc 2023
We couldn’t be more grateful! To our hardworking team, to the judges who believed in our wines, and especially to all of you who support us every day. Here’s to more great wine, more great memories, and an amazing year ahead at French Valley!
