Prized by the excellence in the hospitality and travel sector

Essência Company was awarded the distinction of ‘Best Wine Experience Maker’ at the seventh edition of the ‘International Travel Awards’ at national level. This achievement ‘reflects the outstanding services that the company provides to its clients’, as well as its ‘dedication to excellence in the hospitality and travel sector’.

The prize was awarded by the Golden Tree Awards, which honours events in more than 20 industry categories. This international recognition is the result of various initiatives, including Wine & Travel Week (WTW), an event organised by Essência Company that brings together global tourism projects associated with wine and which has already won awards at the Drink Business Awards, the Travel & Hospitality Awards and the Luxury Lifestyle Awards.

Founded in 2004 and fully owned since the beginning of 2022 by Nuno Guedes Vaz Pires, Essência Company is today a benchmark in the organisation of wine, wine tourism and gastronomy events in Portugal, while also promoting Portuguese wines in other markets - European, American and Asian. As well as events, Essência Company also owns Revista de Vinhos and the Brazilian magazine Gula, and produces the weekly programmes ‘A Essência’ on RTP and Renascença Radio in Portugal.
