A four-day summit of top sommeliers wraps today at the Grand Lisboa. Organised by SJM, the Asia Top Sommelier Summit 2024 brought together leading wine experts from around the region.
According to SJM’s managing director, Daisy Ho, the gathering is “a key part of SJM’s commitment to offering exceptional culinary experiences in Macao.”
A number of prominent awards are included in the summit agenda, including the 16th Asia Wine Spirits Awards, judged by a panel of master sommeliers, and the 16th China National Sommelier Competition, the country’s longest-running, wine industry-related contest.
