About this event
The CMB Gala is the new international awards ceremony of the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, the international wine and spirits competition. Its first edition takes place in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, on Sunday, November 29, and Monday, November 30, 2026. Guanajuato had already hosted the competition in 2024.
Sunday, November 29, is devoted to the CMB World's Best Tasting, a tasting of wines and spirits that won medals in the competition. Guanajuato's tourism office places it at the Hotel Pueblo Bonito Vantage, with labels from France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, South Africa, Croatia, and China, among other countries. The gala follows on Monday, November 30, with a reception, the presentation of the Grand Gold Medals and special awards, food, and wine. Hacienda San José Lavista, a San Miguel de Allende winery, is the host.
The state tourism office describes it as open to the public, while the organizer aims it at producers, buyers, importers, sommeliers, journalists, collectors, and enthusiasts. Neither has published tickets, prices, times, or a registration process yet, so keep an eye on the competition's website before planning the trip.
