Qualmark New Zealand Wine Tourism Award

Inaugural Qualmark Wine Tourism Award Winner Announced at Altogether Unique 2024

Qualmark New Zealand presented their inaugural Wine Tourism Award at the Industry Celebration dinner at Te Papa last week. Excellent timing with the modernised Cellar Door legislation recently passed which now allows more wineries to offer the wine tourism experiences our guests expect.

Kinross, The Landing and Wrights Vineyard had been previously announced as finalists. Steven Dixon, GM of Qualmark awarded Kinross the winner. He told the audience that Qualmark was looking forward to next year’s award already incorporating improvements. The full Qualmark press release is here.

Qualmark is proud to support the first Qualmark New Zealand Wine Tourism Award in partnership with New Zealand Winegrowers.

Qualmark is committed to supporting New Zealand's wine tourism offering, which helps make New Zealand a must-visit destination through unique wine experiences. By engaging directly with visitors, wineries establish personal connections, turning tourists into enthusiastic ambassadors who spread the word about their memorable experiences.
