Hotel and Mantel Awards: nominees for best bodega

Wine doesn't just exist among vineyards. In many cases, of course, it exists there, but it also exists among winemakers and wineries. We firmly believe that there are hotels that deserve their own pilgrimage, which is why the Best Winery category at the Hotel&Mantel Awards was created to recognize the hard work of the sommeliers and experts who make sure that a glass of wine never takes a back seat.
