Best Food & Wine Matching Experience (Highly Commended) – Judges comments included:
Good use of food and wine learning about gastronomy and cooking class with wines. They liked the idea of horse riding and food and wine tour. The entry needed to be a little more tailored to the specific category and more information would have helped.
