The FoodTrekking Awards are the travel industry’s oldest and best respected competition to recognize providers of quality, innovative food and beverage travel experiences.  Founded in late 2015 with a mere three categories, today the Awards have grown to recognize excellence and innovation in seven areas. The Awards are produced by the World Food Travel Association, the world’s leading authority on food and beverage tourism.

The FoodTrekking Awards are different than other travel or food industry awards because they focus specifically on food and beverage tourism, the fastest growing sector of the travel industry world-wide.

Past winners have included Bodegas Torres (Spain), GLP Films (USA), Food Playground (Singapore), Lip Smacking Foodie Tours (USA) and Jamaica Culinary Tours (Jamaica). Peruse other past Awards winners at:
