Best Wine-Themed Event
Sponsored By Accolade Wines
This award is in recognition of an individual or team who has achieved extraordinary success from an innovative and effective event that promotes wine. It acknowledges wine-themed experiences that deliver significant returns against their success criteria, regardless of budget.
The event needs to be open to participants outside of the organisation that held the event. However, those participants can be either wine trade professionals or the general public; judging will be based on how well the event achieved its objectives, not necessarily the scale or expense of the event per se.

- The award category includes but is not limited to: brand launch, brand immersion, cellar door event, trade launch, or education-based event.
- Events or campaigns must have occurred between 31 August 2022 and 31 August 2023.
