The soul and spirit of a restaurant is determined by its standard of hospitality – everything from the perfect ambience and a carefully curated wine cellar, right down to the ability to support young professionals to excel in the art of outstanding service. The final ingredient is a team devoted to the guests’ wellbeing, performing to the highest level. In conjunction with La Rioja Alta, well-known for their on-going support and recognition of the front-of-house team, we bestow the Sommelier Award to the most deserving restaurateur in this field.
