There needs to be supporting signatures from 50% or more of the IWFS members attending the Restaurant Event. We are pleased if guests enjoy the Event and Restaurant but we are sorry, the signatories do have to be IWFS members. Maybe our guests would like to join and become members too.

If the signatures required are difficult to collect, then please collect them by email and forward them as detailed for the members Awards application.

Excellence Awards

The new  Excellence Award is less honerous than the full restaurant award, and may be made at the discretion of Branch Committees,  provided that 50% of members agree that the venue offers grear wine, food and service.    It will give Branches the opportunity to reward a greater number of venues, including those that are not necessarily restaurants,  and thus to increase the visibility of the Society in their area.   Our aim is to raise awareness of IWFS in the hospitality industry and amongst its clientele, such that within a few years the brand and what it stands for become as widely recognised and respected as other comparable restaurant awards. To this end a centralised register of Excellence Venues will be held on this website, which should in time build up into a helpful resource for members and the public at large.

Here is a list of the Excellence Awards that have been awarded to date.
