Award Your Favorite Wineries
Global Winery Award
More than a project. A sincere and personal connection between wine lovers and winemakers.
Be part of something special
WIA is a community of like-minded individuals who share the same aspirations of exploring and appreciating excellent wine, are culturally curious and passionately engaged in the world of wine.
The Global Winery Awards is an annual international wine award that looks to acknowledge, reward and help promote wineries. It is designed to build a bridge between wineries and wine lovers at the heart of the international wine community. We welcome into the program all wineries from all around the world sharing our passion for wine.
Better value, better values
We Believe
“Wine brings families, friends, and loved ones together”
We believe that wine, as the core of our company, has always been a catalyst for uniting people across oceans and across the table to help unite all origins, backgrounds, orientations, cultures, and communities.
This belief remains essential to who we are and how we can promote the critical dialogue and action needed to build a more inclusive wine world.
Our Purpose
“Help wineries share their stories with an audience of passionate wine lovers”
In a marketplace obsessed with price, it can be difficult for wineries to be recognised, and continue to be recognised, for quality and consistency. We want to change that by introducing The Global Winery Awards.
We want to strengthen the connection between the wine in your glass, the place it comes from, and the way the grapes are grown.
How We Do It
“Bring winemakers around the world together with wine lovers”
The winemaker is the protagonist, and our mission is to help them share their story by putting all the people who love wine in communication. This award enables wine lovers to reward their favourite wineries and as a result grow together.
The awarded wineries are the wineries that have made an impact on wine lovers’ hearts, and deserve more recognition than they may get otherwise.
