        US Winery Rankings

        Looking for the best wineries to visit on an upcoming trip, weekend getaway, or simply for your own research? We’ve got you covered. We take a data-driven approach to scoring and ranking wine producers across the US.

        We publish simple, easy-to-navigate lists that either a casual wine drinker or a wine connoisseur will find beneficial when planning your next winery outing.

        How Do We Select & Rank Wineries?

        In a word: Data. We start by casting a wide net to identify as many US wineries as possible. Then, we complement that information with several other data sources, including customer reviews and expert wine scores. We then run this data through our proprietary ranking algorithm that yields a score (CW Score) for each winery.

        Along with our CW score, our ‘best wineries’ lists include contact information and an overview highlighting the unique elements of each winery featured. Our straightforward approach is meant to provide the information needed to easily plan your next winery outing.

        At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. Spend your time sipping great wine…not trying to figure out where to find it. We’ve taken care of that step for you.

        Beyond Winery Rankings

We maintain a curated list of our favorite wine clubs to help you navigate these options and select the right wine club for your needs (or as the perfect gift).

        Whether you’re interested in locking in a monthly shipment of both reds and whites from wine producers across the US, a quarterly shipment of the finest French wine, or anything from affordable to rare and exclusive…we’ve got the right wine club for you.
