Drinks Tourism Challenge 2019: Awards

Visitor centres are shop windows for drinks companies. They are an important opportunity to show o facilities, inform and educate guests and, if successful, they can be a significant profit centre.

Apart from the goodwill generated, tourism is a silent sales pitch for a distillery and winery’s end product. Also, if there are good family facilities, you can be talking to the next generation of potential customers. 

Drinks International’s Drinks Tourism Challenge seeks to highlight and reward excellence. The following category winners give examples of excellence and, hopefully, provide food for thought to any company contemplating inviting and welcoming guests and customers to their facilities.
