THE GOLDEN VINES® AWARDS
Since their inception, The Golden Vines® have led the way in pioneering a new way to judge ‘the best of the best’, and now, three years on, we continue to set the standard for excellence across the industry.
We have huge respect for people who are passionate about this business, and therefore their opinion is vital.
Ours is the first Awards to take into account the votes of industry professionals, whose opinions form the much-lauded Golden Vines® Report, dedicated to the incredible Gérard Basset. Based on extensive polling from a wide range of experts in their field, including Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers, sommeliers at Michelin-starred establishments, wine merchants, brokers and importers, wine press and the winemakers themselves. It is by far the most extensive and in-depth industry poll ever conducted, and our numbers continue to grow year on year.
We’re proud to be game changers, and to champion, celebrate and elevate the true leaders in their field, the masters of their craft and the trailblazers of the industry. We thank all our contributors for being a part of this journey, and for their guidance in anointing only the worthiest of winners.
We’re excited to see what 2025 holds.
