The Awards open every March 1, and winners are announced every September. This year, six winners were chosen from 99 entries from 18 countries.
Culinary travel was officially recognized as a niche industry in 2001 with the publication of a white paper, “Culinary Tourism: The Hidden Harvest.” Since then, the industry has experienced tremendous growth in both the quantity and quality of products and experiences for culinary travelers.
We wish all our winners future success in the years to come.
