Emerging Talent - Something to Celebrate

Although the date for the Felix Wellington Hospitality Awards has changed, the focus remains the same - to promote and celebrate the plethora of emerging talent and recognise the excellence of hospitality in the Wellington region. 21 awards across various categories are up for grabs, and if you reside in the Wellington Region, you have until Sunday 26^th September to vote for the People’s Choice Award here. The awards will be held on Sunday 17th October 2021 at Te Papa in Wellington.

Hospo has been doing it tough, and we look forward to coming together in a celebration of Wellington’s world-class food and beverage offer. Southern Hospitality is proud to recognise the breakthrough talent in the region and to sponsor the Emerging Chef Award, we would like to congratulate all of the category finalists.
