Gold, Platinum & Best of Show: Truffle Pig Winery's 2026 Award-Winning Lineup
There's plenty to raise a glass to at Truffle Pig Winery this year. Our wines have earned an impressive collection of honors at some of California's most respected wine competitions — the Winemaker Challenge, the California State Fair, and the Orange County Fair Wine Competition — and we couldn't be more excited to share the news with you.
Rosé of Grenache Takes Center Stage
Our Rosé of Grenache delivered a standout performance at the 2026 Winemaker Challenge, walking away with three major honors:
- Platinum
- Best of Show Rosé
- Best Rosé
That kind of recognition speaks to everything we love about crafting expressive, beautifully made wines. And the rosé love didn't stop there — our Rosé of Barbera and Rosé of Zinfandel each earned Gold medals at the Winemaker Challenge as well.
Gold at the California State Fair
Our White Zinfandel brought home a Gold medal from the 2026 California State Fair. It's a meaningful reminder that approachable, crowd-pleasing wines can still deliver serious, award-worthy quality.
Tawny Port Shines at the OC Fair
If you've ever lingered over a glass of our Tawny Port at the end of a good meal, you already know what the judges at the Orange County Fair Wine Competition discovered. Our Tawny Port received:
- Double Gold
- Best of Class
- Best Premium Dessert Wine
The OC Fair also awarded Gold medals to both our Rosé of Zinfandel and Rosé of Grenache, rounding out a truly memorable showing across our portfolio.
More Than Medals
Awards are exciting, but for us they represent something bigger. Every bottle of Truffle Pig wine begins with a commitment to quality and ends with the experience created when that bottle is finally opened and shared. These honors recognize the work that happens behind the scenes — from the vineyard and the cellar to the tasting room — and the people who bring our wines to life every single day.
Most importantly, we get to share them with you.
Whether you're already a fan of our award-winning rosés, love finishing an evening with a pour of Tawny Port, or are ready to discover a new favorite, we'd love to have you visit. Come taste what all the excitement is about and raise a glass with us to an incredible 2026.
