BUILD A BETTER BURGER CONTEST WILL RETURN.
If you didn’t enter this year, we’d love to sink our eyes and teeth into your recipe next year. Come back next April to learn more about our 2023 recipe contest!
Also, take a moment to read the Official Rules and FAQ.
If you entered this year, good luck!

All burger recipes will be reviewed by a panel of experts to select the top in each region. These Semi-Finalists will be invited to participate in a series of live cook-off tailgate events across the country that will culminate at the National Finals hosted at Sutter Home Winery in beautiful St. Helena, CA.
Anyone can enter, anyone can win the $25,000 Grand Prize.
BURGERS WILL BE SCORED ON:
- Taste
- Creativity
- Ease of Preparation
- Wine Pairing

Even after 30 years of experiencing the juiciest eye-popping, jaw-dropping homemade burger recipes, we still believe that burgers taste way better with Sutter Home wines. That’s why we love hosting the Sutter Home Build a Better Burger® Recipe Contest.
Thanks to many of you, we now have over 10,000 original burger recipes and Sutter Home wine pairings for all to enjoy.
