We’re here to celebrate the culinary experiences that draw us to a destination and evoke a true taste of place, from those life-affirming meals that define a trip to creatively crafted cocktails that elevate an evening with every sip, and standout culinary offerings at hotels to unforgettable bites on cruises — the flavors we can’t wait to share with fellow travelers.

Food & Wine is proud to announce the winners of our annual Global Tastemakers Awards for 2024.

This year, we asked more than 180 food and travel journalists from across the globe to nominate their favorite restaurants, bars, bakeries, markets, cities, hotels, airports, airlines, and cruises around the world. We then entrusted that feedback to an expert panel of judges to rank each category’s winners. In many categories, we’ve included a Plus One, hand-selected by our expert panel, to shout out more culinary destinations we don’t want our readers to miss.

Keep scrolling to find out the winners of each category, including Best Airlines and Airports, Bars, Hotels, and Restaurants, along with the Best Cities for Coffee, Bakeries, and Markets, so you can start planning the dream getaway you crave.
