The Wine Travel Awards (WTA) invites wine tourism professionals to become part of its vibrant community for the 2024-2025 campaign. By joining, you’ll gain access to a robust, 1.5-year global marketing campaign designed to elevate your visibility and connect you with an international audience of peers and enthusiasts. This marketing campaign includes representation at exhibitions, in media, and at events across various markets. Building on past successes, WTA continues to expand, uniting members from over 44 countries and celebrating contributions from both established brands and emerging names in the industry. This year, we plan to broaden our geographical reach, and we are already welcoming new nominees from diverse parts of the world – from Thailand to the Nordic countries, where winemaking is just beginning to develop.
Our esteemed panel has included industry luminaries such as Robert Joseph (UK), Felicity Carter (Australia), Per Karlsson (Sweden), Dr. Prof. h.c. Gergely Szolnoki (Germany), Stephane Badet (France), Yang Shen (New Zealand), Paul Wagner (USA), Richard Bampfield MW (UK), Paul Robert Blom (Netherlands), Matthew Horkey (USA), Marinela Ardelean (Romania), and Filippo Magnani (Italy).
Previous campaigns have set high standards, forming partnerships with renowned wine labels like Asti DOCG, and spotlighting participants at major industry events such as ProWein, Wine Paris, Vinitaly and the London Wine Fair, alongside multiple local market activations. This year’s awards structure includes six distinct categories to honor the diverse talents within the wine tourism industry:
Business-Focused Categories:
- The Visiting Card of the Country
- Enogastronomic Events
- Education in Enotourism

Personality-Focused Categories:
- Wine and Food Influencer
- Wine Ambassador
These categories cover a broad range of contributions, celebrating both businesses and individuals, and are crafted to recognize innovative leaders aligned with emerging trends in wine tourism. The WTA platform highlights influential personalities and brands, enhancing the global wine community’s rich and diverse tapestry.
