Délicieux, the French Food & Wine Day, hosted the 2025 French Champion Awards in Dublin’s Smock Alley Theatre on Tuesday, 8 October.
After the successful launch of the French Champion Awards for Ireland’s food & wine sector last year, they extended the initiative this year, hosting a one-day showcase of French produce, handpicked for the Irish trade.
The French Champion Awards aim to recognise Irish companies and professionals who have demonstrated excellence in promoting French food and wine, with prizes presented across six categories.
