Words from the 2019 Top 50...

“Zuccardi Valle de Uco has become a MUST for visitors in Mendoza. Before the award the winery was open from Wednesdays to Sundays. Since then we had to start opening every day because of the high demand of visitors.”

#1 Zuccardi Valle de Uco, Argentina

“Looking at our Google Analytics for periods before and after the announcement (and, indeed, compared to the same period last year), there is no doubt that we experienced a surge of interest in Rippon after we made the list.”

#8 Rippon, New Zealand

“We had an inquiry from our importer in Greece about this award so the word spread! I think it is also a legitimization for current and new customers that may have not considered us or Germany as a top destination for wine”

#10 Weingut Dr. Loosen, Germany

“Vergelegen has probably seen around a 15% increase in visitor numbers since the award was announced. ”

#34 Vergelegen Estate, South Africa

“Being one of the Top 50 has had a great impact on our enotourism. The number of Chilean visitors has increased around 40%, and they say it’s because of the award they decided to visit.”

#32 Bodegas RE, Chile
