The MICHELIN Guide has shaped gastronomy and travel for 125 years; the introduction of a dedicated wine distinction strengthens its role as a comprehensive lifestyle reference for global audiences.
We guide our audience toward the world’s most compelling wine producers, relying on rigorous evaluation and clear criteria.
Selections will be made by a dedicated team of MICHELIN wine inspectors — all full-time professionals who work independently and decide collectively. The team includes seasoned experts and newly trained inspectors, all chosen for their credibility and integrity.
Many come from the wine world itself, such as former sommeliers, critics, or production specialists, bringing real hands-on experience to the evaluation process.
All assessments follow a strict methodology, including panel reviews and editorial checks to ensure fairness and consistency.
