The World Food Travel Association has just released its winners for the first annual FoodTrekking Awards for excellence in food and beverage. Presented to restaurants, wineries, breweries, tour operators and tourism boards, the FoodTrekking Awards serve to recognize establishments across the world that provide authentic experiences that bring out the best of their region.

​
A note on interpreting the winners:
  • Winners were selected only from submitted applications.
  • No applicants received any discounted or complimentary application fees. Every entrant paid the same fee as other entrants in its category.
  • In the case of a potential conflict of interest (e.g. a judge who was already familiar with the entrant's business), another judge was assigned to review the entry.
  • There is one "grand prize" winner and up to two runner-up winners of equal standing. There is no second or third place.
  • For categories with only one runner-up, our judges did not feel that there was a suitable second runner-up in that category that met sufficient requirements so only one runner up was selected. 

The World Food travel Association [WFTA] is a non-profit and non-governmental organization dedicated to food and drink tourism. For more information on the WFTA, visit them online.
