About A-List Awards

Presented by Oregon Wine Press & Oregon Wine Board

Everyone wants to be on the A-List, but it takes a special commitment to Oregon wine for a restaurant or sommelier to earn a coveted Oregon Wine A-List Award!

Oregon Wine A-List Awards (formerly known as the Superior Cellar Awards) honor restaurants and restaurant professionals that demonstrate outstanding commitment to advocating and celebrating the quality and diversity of Oregon wines. The goal of the program is to help consumers find restaurants, both in state and outside of Oregon, that promote and feature the wines of Oregon on their wine lists and in concert with their menus and cuisine.
