About this event
One of 2 upcoming events at Hermann Farm.
A WEEKEND OF WINE, CUISINE & HOSPITALITY The 2026 BUSA Benefit Weekend brings together exceptional sommeliers, chefs, wines, and friends in advancing American sommeliers competing on the world stage. The Best USA Sommelier Association (BUSA) was founded by Doug Frost, Master Sommelier and Master of Wine, to elevate American sommeliers through education, training, mentorship, and international competition. Doug Frost and JiaMin Dierberg established the BUSA Educational Foundation and its annual Benefit at Hermann Farm to provide the resources needed to help America’s most talented sommeliers compete on the world stage. This year’s benefit is particularly meaningful. Mark Guillaudeu, Master Sommelier and two-time Best Sommelier USA champion, will represent the United States at the 2026 ASI Best Sommelier of the World competition in Lisbon, October 11-17, 2026. Just weeks later, Mark will join us at Hermann Farm to share his experience. Mark’s journey is the BUSA mission in action.
