Wine List of the Year People's Choice Award
2024 Tasmanian Wine List of The Year finalists announced
and Tassie wine lovers encouraged to vote for their number one.
Fifteen venues have been selected as finalists in the 2024 Tasmanian Wine List of the Year awards, chosen from an exceptional field of nominated venues based on the diversity and representation of Tasmanian wine on offer as well as the quality of wine service and knowledge.
The announcement also marked the commencement of the People’s Choice voting campaign, which invites Tasmanian wine lovers to vote for their favourite venue. Each vote in the 2024 People's Choice Award provides an opportunity to win 12 mixed bottles of (delicious) Tasmanian wine.
The People’s Choice is one of several award categories, with others under consideration by the judging panel including Best Hobart / Launceston Wine List, Best Regional Wine List and Best Small Wine Bar List, as well as the overall champion Tasmanian Wine List of the Year.
Wine Tasmania Marketing Officer Tessa Astbury congratulated the 2024 shortlisted venues, which includes several first-time finalists.
“This year's finalists are a reflection of the wonderful diversity in our island’s wine and food offering,” she said.
“They represent some of Tassie's most well-known fine dining institutions alongside more casual experiences, not just in our major cities but all the way from the Huon Valley through Cradle Mountain to the far North West.
The support for local wine in our Tasmanian venues is going from strength to strength and in any part of the island visitors and locals alike can sit down to a great meal and receive sage advice as to the best local wine to complement that experience. This is certainly something to be celebrated, and we're encouraging Tassie wine lovers to get out, visit these venues and vote for their favourite.”
