For more than 20 years, the olive team has been uncovering the best in food-led travel, so we are delighted to announce the shortlist of our inaugural olive Travel&Taste Awards, celebrating exceptional destinations, hotels and experiences. AdOur shortlisted destinations and experiences include established favourites and exciting new discoveries that deserve a place on every food lover’s travel wish list. They offer genuine sense of place, strong local identity and a commitment to creating meaningful connections between travellers, food, culture and community. The shortlist has been selected by a panel of olive's editors, alongside a specialist guest judge in each category (full list below). The winners will be announced on 2 September, we can’t wait to share them with you.
