Kinross Wins 2024 Qualmark NZ Wine Tourism Award

Kinross is proud to announce its victory at the inaugural 2024 Qualmark NZ Wine Tourism Awards, held last night in Wellington. This prestigious national award, established in partnership with New Zealand Winegrowers, celebrates the finest wine tourism cellar door experience across the country.

After being named one of the top three finalists earlier this month, Kinross was thrilled to take home the top honour. General Manager of Wine, Thomas Moschetta, was present at the event to accept the award on behalf of the entire Kinross team.

Kinross CEO, Nicky Sygrove, expressed her pride in the team’s achievement, stating, “Providing a world-class guest experience is at the core of everything we do. Being recognised at this level is a testament to our incredible team and our esteemed wine partners—Coal Pit, Hawkshead, High Garden, Valli, and Wild Irishman. Central Otago is home to some of the finest wines in the world, and we are honoured to represent our region with this award.”

She continued, “The quality of wine we offer at our cellar door is unparalleled, and we are committed to ensuring that the experience we provide matches this excellence. We are fortunate to collaborate with such distinguished wineries, allowing us to share the unique story of Central Otago wine like no one else can. Qualmark’s emphasis on people and place aligns perfectly with our values, enabling us to deliver truly authentic and memorable experiences for our visitors.”
