Exceptional experiences, thoughtfully evaluated.
Winery evaluations consider wine quality, tasting guidance and the setting. Brewery evaluations consider beer quality, freshness, variety and the taproom experience.
Both are judged against the same visitor experience standards. Size, fame and production volume do not determine recognition.
