UKSA Gold Award, Graduation Ceremony & Walkaround Tasting
February 3 @ 11:00 - 19:00
Gold Awards and Graduation Ceremony
We are very excited to present our annual Hospitality Award!
The aim of the award is to recognise all aspects of the on-trade and off-trade, while also highlighting the value of the professionals behind a wine list.
Awards will be given not only to sommeliers but also to wine buyers, importers, brand ambassadors, restaurateurs, and wine journalists.
Additionally, we will recognise the best wine lists across various establishments.
The list of deserving candidates will be voted on by the industry, with the voting process running from now until the week before the event.
On the same day, there will be a walkaround tasting featuring our sponsors (producers and importers) as well as three masterclasses scheduled for the late morning and afternoon.
Following the Gold Awards, the 2023/24 sommelier course students will receive their diplomas and tastevins.
We can’t wait to celegrate the hospitality Industry, with you!
