Wines of BC Explore App Awarded GOLD in Travel Weekly's Magellan Awards
The Travel Weekly Magellan Awards announced a GOLD medal for the Wines of BC Explorer App, marking the first ever win for a wine tourism app, and only the second ever for a Canadian based App in the category.
The Magellan Awards is the premier award for the global travel industry, honouring outstanding levels of design, marketing, and services – the Wines of BC Explorer App received the award in the Online Travel Services category.
The App is an essential tool for anyone looking to explore and enjoy BC wine. From plan-your-trip assistance to wine-education content and a personal taste test, the App is the best way to discover BC wine country, and in turn acts as a perfect conduit for BC wineries to connect with potential guests.
With all 300+ BC wineries listed on the App regularly updating new wine releases and tasting experiences, the increasing number of users can always find what they are looking for, and even uncover something they did not know they would love.
Features include:
Curated lists of wines and wineries
An interactive taste test with resulting wine suggestions
Shopping for wine and wine experiences
Helpful filters to enable discovery, search by ‘organic wines’ or ‘dog friendly wineries’ and more!
The Wine Growers of BC team is always looking to improve and launch exciting new features. The most recent feature is a geo-location tool designed to assist users in finding wineries and wine shops closest to their location and preferences.
