Telstra Hall of Fame
The Regional Awards Telstra Hall of Fame is designed to recognise those who have won three or more Regional Awards on different occasions since its inception in 2000 - irrespective of the year or category.
Once admitted into the Telstra Hall of Fame, inductees are ineligible to nominate for future Regional Awards for a period of three years.
Advantage SA hosted a celebratory cocktail function on Friday 26 March at the Hilton Adelaide to honour the 2009 Regional Award winners and induct four renowned organisations into the Regional Awards Telstra Hall of Fame.
The 2010 Telstra Hall of Fame inductees:
Beerenberg, Adelaide Hills
Beerenberg is an Australian-owned family company based at Hahndorf, 30 minutes from Adelaide's CBD. They use the freshest farm produce and traditional recipes to make home-style jams, sauces, dressings and condiments. All products are made on the farm, which has been in the family since 1839, when the Paech family settled in Hahndorf. Since the first batch of strawberry jam was made in 1971, Beerenberg has expanded its range to over 55 products, and has been exporting since 1986.
Longview Vineyard, Adelaide Hills
Longview Vineyard is set on undulating slopes reminiscent of classic old world estates and is gaining recognition for being a premium cool-climate wine producer, providing high-quality food, accommodation, functions and a breathtaking cellar door. Within an hour’s drive from Adelaide, on the outskirts of historic Macclesfield, visitors become encompassed by the view as they experience what has made Longview a Regional Award winner.
Rich and Lingering, Adelaide Hills
Rich & Lingering provide bespoke food and wine tours designed to gratify the senses. Their award winning private tours of South Australia’s premium wine regions enable guests to meet winemakers and producers, as well as visit behind the scenes. They provide the highest quality tailor made experiences for their guests, without taking themselves too seriously. Each private tour includes sole use of their luxury vehicle and a personal wine guide. Rich & Lingering’s knowledgeable guide is not only a professional wine judge but is also ‘hands on’ in a boutique winery.
