La Motte wins Best Sustainable Wine Tourism Offering for second year
At the 2014 Great Wine Capitals of the World's Best of Wine Tourism results for South Africa, released on 8 November, La Motte Wine Estate in Franschhoek was the winner in the category for Sustainable Wine Tourism Practices for the second year running.
La Motte, the overall South Africa winner in both 2012 and 2013, could not be considered as the overall winner again as the competition's rules do not allow more than two consecutive wins.
"Although, we would have loved to be in the running for overall winner again, we are very proud that our focused efforts with making sustainability a part of the tourism experience have again impressed judges," says La Motte CEO, Hein Koegelenberg. "We are passionate about conservation and sustainability but also about wine tourism in general and enjoy sharing our passions with guests - whether it is the sustainability offering, food and wine, art and culture or architecture and landscape."
