GOLD AWARDS: VOTE HERE

 Voting Deadline 20^th January 2025

On 3rd February we will be presenting our Gold Awards winners not only to sommeliers but also to wine buyers, importers, brand ambassadors, restaurateurs, and wine journalists.

 This will coincide with an exclusive walkaround tasting with our sponsors (producers and importers), along with four masterclasses taking place throughout the late morning and afternoon.

 We will also acknowledge the best wine lists in various establishments and after the Gold Awards ceremony, our 2023/24 sommelier course students will also receive diplomas and tastevin.

Our Graduation Ceremony is a significant moment for us, as it marks our annual gathering to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and passion of our students in achieving their goals.

Our ultimate goal is to support the entire hospitality industry by recognising the talent, skills, knowledge, and hard work of its people and professionals.
