## Sweepstakes Overview

The Wine Enthusiast and Les Dauphins 2026 Sweepstakes offers a grand prize trip to Paris for two. This promotional event is open exclusively to legal residents of the United States who are at least twenty-one years old. No purchase is necessary to enter, and winning depends entirely on a random drawing.

## Entry Requirements

Participants must have an active Instagram account to enter the contest. Entrants are required to follow both @lesdauphinswine and @winenthusiast on the platform. To qualify, users must like the official sweepstakes post and tag at least one friend in the comment section during the entry period, which runs through December 5, 2026.

## Grand Prize Details

The winner receives a three-night trip to Paris, France, for two people. The package includes roundtrip economy airfare from a major US airport and hotel accommodations at the 4-star Hotel Spa Saint-Jacques. Additionally, the prize features a guided Eiffel Tower tour with summit access and a 200 Euro dinner allowance.

## Eligibility Constraints

Employees, officers, and directors of the sponsor, Wine Enthusiast Media, and the administrator are ineligible to participate. Immediate family members and household residents of these individuals are also excluded from the sweepstakes. Any entry found to be submitted by a company or group account rather than an individual may be disqualified.

## Official Rules Compliance

By entering, participants agree to be bound by the official rules and the sponsor's final decisions. The contest is governed by United States law and relevant state regulations. Any attempt to tamper with the entry process or undermine the sweepstakes' integrity may lead to disqualification and potential legal action under civil laws.

## Technical Liability

The sponsor and released parties are not responsible for technical malfunctions, including computer viruses, server failures, or internet traffic congestion. Participants release these entities from any liability regarding technical errors, printing mistakes, or administrative issues. The liability of the released parties is strictly limited to the cost of entering the sweepstakes.

## Winner Selection Process

The potential grand prize winner will be selected via a random drawing conducted by the American Sweepstakes Promotion Co., Inc. The drawing is scheduled for December 7, 2026. The winner will be notified directly through Instagram. Odds of winning are determined by the total number of eligible entries received during the period.

## Travel Restrictions

The trip must be completed within twelve months of prize acceptance. Several blackout dates apply, including early May, late July, and the end-of-year holiday season. The winner and their guest must travel on the same itinerary and possess valid passports with at least six months of remaining validity beyond the travel dates.

## Sponsor Responsibilities

The sponsor is not liable for cancellations, delays, or substitutions by air carriers or hotels. All expenses not explicitly included in the prize package, such as baggage fees, ground transportation, or additional gratuities, remain the responsibility of the winner. The prize cannot be transferred or assigned, except at the sponsor's sole discretion.

## Documentation Requirements

Upon notification, the potential winner must sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability Publicity release within seven days. Failure to comply with this timeline or provide the necessary documentation will result in disqualification. This ensures the winner meets all legal requirements for international travel and contest participation standards.

## Data and Privacy

By participating, entrants consent to the use of their personal information by the sponsor and its agents for administration purposes. This data handling is consistent with the privacy policy provided on the official Les Dauphins website. All entries become the exclusive property of the sponsor and will not be returned to participants.

## Strategic Significance

This sweepstakes serves as a targeted marketing initiative to increase brand visibility for Les Dauphins wine within the US market. By leveraging social media engagement, the sponsor aims to connect with wine enthusiasts directly. Such campaigns are common tools for building audience interaction and fostering long-term brand loyalty among adult consumers.
