See Which Hudson Valley Restaurants Earned 2024 Wine Spectator Awards

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — While metro areas like New York City and Paris, or high-profile wine-growing regions like Napa and the Loire Valley, usually get all the attention, our region is gaining recognition among oenophiles.

Wine Spectator just unveiled the 2024 Restaurant Awards winners, which honor the world's best restaurants for wines. This year's awards program recognized 3,777 dining destinations from all 50 states and in more than 75 countries worldwide.

"The restaurant industry is growing and thriving, with restaurant openings surpassing pre-pandemic levels for the first time," said Marvin Shanken, the editor and publisher of Wine Spectator. "To take advantage of the uptick, restaurateurs are investing in their wine programs. Restaurants that make wine a priority are what the Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards program is all about."

Since 1981, awards have been given across three categories: Award of Excellence, presented to about 2,150 restaurants; the Best of Award of Excellence, presented to about 1,531 restaurants; and the Grand Award, presented to 96 restaurants.

Wine Spectator said the Award of Excellence winners generally have a wine list of at least 100 vintages, while the Best of Award of Excellence winners generally have at least 350 selections. The Grand Award winners have 1,000 or more selections, presenting diners with a depth of vintages from some of the world’s most acclaimed winemakers.
