For more than three decades, the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles has travelled the world identifying, evaluating and rewarding excellence in wine and spirits.

In 2026, that excellence will have a new stage.

The CMB Gala is the new International Awards Ceremony of the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles: an annual celebration created to honor the wines, spirits, producers, regions and personalities that are shaping the global industry.

Conceived as the flagship event of the CMB, the Gala brings together outstanding producers with buyers, importers, sommeliers, journalists, industry leaders and international decisionmakers for an unprecedented celebration of excellence.

One stage. One global community. The very best of the CMB.

A new tradition begins

Every year, thousands of wines and spirits from around the world are evaluated through the international competitions of the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.

Behind every medal lies a vineyard, a distillery, a producer, a region and, above all, a story of excellence.

The CMB Gala was created to give those achievements a global stage.

For the first time, the different worlds of the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles come together in a single international celebration, transforming the recognition earned through blind tasting into an occasion to celebrate the people, places and ideas moving the wine and spirits industry forward.

More than an awards ceremony, the CMB Gala is designed to become an annual meeting point for the international wine and spirits community.

The CMB Gala Awards

Excellence deserves more than recognition. It deserves a stage.

At the heart of the evening is an International Awards Ceremony celebrating excellence across the entire wine and spirits ecosystem.

The CMB Gala brings together the highest distinctions arising from the competitions of the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles — including outstanding Grand Gold Medal winners and Revelation Trophies — alongside a new generation of international CMB Awards.

These distinctions go beyond the bottle.

They recognise the producers, professionals, regions, initiatives and personalities whose work is making an exceptional contribution to the world of wine and spirits.

From winemaking and distillation to sustainability, innovation, communication, hospitality, gastronomy and social impact, the CMB Gala Awards celebrate excellence in all its forms.

Two days. One global celebration.
