Diplomat Prime Wins Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence for 2024

The honor represents the world’s only program focused exclusively on restaurant wine service.

Diplomat Prime, located within the iconic Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, has received recognition for its exceptional wine program in the 2024 Restaurant Awards by Wine Spectator. The 2024 Restaurant Awards honor the finest restaurants for their wine offerings. Diplomat Prime has been presented with The Award of Excellence, which acknowledges restaurants with meticulously curated wine lists that complement the menu in terms of quality, price and style.

“The restaurant industry is growing and thriving, with restaurant openings surpassing pre-pandemic levels for the first time,” says Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher of Wine Spectator. “To take advantage of the uptick, restaurateurs are re-investing in their wine programs. Restaurants that make wine a priority are what the Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards program is all about. I’m pleased to congratulate all 3,777 restaurants for their dedication to wine and exemplary wine lists.”
