The businessman and global industry leader was honored during Wine Enthusiast’s annual gala in New York, as part of the 26th Wine Star Awards.
Alejandro P. Bulgheroni received the Lifetime Achievement Award during the Wine Star Awards gala organized by the U.S. publication Wine Enthusiast, held on Monday, January 26, 2026, at The Glasshouse (New York).
The award celebrates a career defined by a global vision, the development of long-term projects, and an enduring commitment to excellence—values that Wine Enthusiast highlighted when announcing this distinction.
In his remarks after receiving the award, Bulgheroni stated:
“I feel that each winery, each destination, reflects a philosophy of heritage, culture, and sustainable luxury. Each of these wineries shares the same spirit: to create wines that reflect the soul of the place, crafted with deep respect for nature, innovation, tradition, and hospitality.” —Alejandro P. Bulgheroni
The Wine Star Awards annually recognize the most influential figures and organizations in the world of wine and beverages, celebrating their impact, innovation, and contribution to the industry’s growth worldwide.
With a holistic view of wine’s cultural and social role, Bulgheroni leads an international portfolio of 15 projects/estates in leading wine regions, consolidating a global platform focused on origin, quality, and sustainable development.
“True success is not measured by stars or awards, but by the memories we leave with those who visit us: the silence of the vineyards, the warmth of our people, and the trace of our roots.” —Alejandro P. Bulgheroni
Beyond recognizing his contribution to the world of wine, the distinction also highlights a vision that integrates hospitality and experience. For the Alejandro P. Bulgheroni family, coherence between what is produced and what is lived at each winery is an essential part of excellence—from the vineyard to the visitor.
