Awards Flowing for Virginia Winery Distribution Company


A full website redesign for the Virginia Winery Distribution Company (VWDC) was completed in October of 2017 and has since brought home a barrel of digital and creative awards. VWDC tapped Richmond, VA based e-government specialists Virginia Interactive to execute a fully customized online marketplace, tailored to the needs of the small farm wineries served by VWDC. The project includes website hosting, farm winery and retailer registration, retailer ordering and payment, winery inventory and order fulfillment, and a VWDC administrative area.

The result of this joint effort from Virginia Interactive and Virginia Winery Distribution Company has been lauded with 11 awards to date, including recognition from:

  • AVA Digital Awards - Gold Winner
  • DotComm Awards - Gold Winner
  • Hermes Creative Awards - Gold Winner
  • Horizon Interactive Awards - Silver, Bronze awards
  • Summit Creative Awards - Bronze award
  • American Business (Stevie) Awards - Bronze award
  • Summit Emerging Media Awards - Leader award, Innovator award
  • Communicator Awards - Distinction

VWDC isa non-profit, non-inventory corporation, created by the Commonwealth of Virginia to provide wholesale distribution services for Virginia farm wineries. Small farm wineries had previously been exempt from the Commonwealth's distribution system of producers, distributors, and retailers. Legislation passed in 2006 brought them under the traditional distribution system. VWDC was created in 2007 to ameliorate negative impact on smaller producers by allowing distribution of up to 3,000 cases of their own wine through the VWDC.
