Unveiled: Louis Jadot Wine Photographer Award 2026 shortlist
The Louis Jadot Wine Photographer of the Year 2026 competition has released its shortlist of breathtaking images from across the world of wine.
In the words of the organizers, The World Food Photography Awards, this prestigious prize “celebrates the journey of wine, from vineyard to bottle and the passion behind every glass”.
The wine photography awards event covers three categories: Produce – images that reflect wine itself, from grape berries to a glass or bottle of wine or packaging; People – portraits or action shots of people involved in winemaking; Places – locations connected with the craft of winemaking.
Whether a sweeping aerial vista, a dramatic winter vineyard landscape, or an atmospheric peek into working wineries, the shortlisted images, which span continents, capture the essence of wine culture.
Leading industry figures are judging the wine photography shortlist, with the winners for each category announced on June 2nd at a live ceremony in London.
In the UK in early June? You can see the wine competition finalists' images at The Mall Galleries, London exhibition. A free-to-enter show of this outstanding wine industry photography will open on June 3rd and run until the 7th.
